Concrete Observer (NewsSubscriber):?
Short answer: The NewsSubscriber class represents an observer. Each subscriber has a name and implements the Update() method to receive news updates from the publisher. public class NewsSubscriber : IObserver
Example code
{
private readonly string _name;
public NewsSubscriber(string name) => _name = name;
public void Update(string news) => Console.WriteLine($"{_name} received news: {news}"); }
Real-world example (ShopNest)
When order status changes, observers update email, SMS, and analytics without the Order class knowing each one.
