I did this once a long time ago and followed a design pattern when I did. Now, I need to do it again, I don't really remember how I did it before, and I can't think of the pattern that helped me do it.
I have a class with a whole slew of variables/properties. Some are calculated based on the others, and there is all sorts of cross-calculating going on between these properties.
It's all fine when I first instantiate - all the values and the calculations work just fine. My problem is, when one value changes, I want all of the calculated values derived from it to update themselves based on the new value automatically. And I don't want to write each individual recalc manually if I don't have to - it just becomes a lot of overhead whenever this class gets updated or added to, trying to track down all of the places you need to propagate whatever change you're making.
I think you follow me.
Anyway, can anyone think of what pattern it is that makes this possible? I swear I used to know it. Getting old I guess.
// Like this...
class foo
{
decimal A = 1233;
decimal B = 42;
decimal C = A / B; // I want this to update whenever
// the value of either A or B changes.
decimal D = 123;
decimal E = 321;
decimal F = D + E; // I don't want this one to change when
// A or B or even C for that matter changes,
// and I don't wan to have to cycle through
// all of the calculated values that don't
// need to change just for find the few that do.
}
