Calculations
These methods must be implemented in derived classes to perform the actual volatility calculations. When they are called, range check has already been performed; therefore, they must assume that extrapolation is required.

## Member Function Documentation

## update()

void update | ( |  | ) |

virtual

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Implements Observer.

## performCalculations()

void performCalculations | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

This method must implement any calculations which must be (re)done in order to calculate the desired results.

Implements LazyObject.
