 Observables provide support for passing messages between publishers and subscribers in your application. Observables offer significant benefits over other techniques for event handling, asynchronous programming, and handling multiple values.

 Use the `Observable` constructor to create an observable stream of any type. The constructor takes as its argument the subscriber function to run when the observable’s `subscribe()` method executes. A subscriber function receives an `Observer` object, and can publish values to the observer's `next()` method.
