import kotlin.test.*
fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   var observed = false
var max: Int by Delegates.observable(0) { property, oldValue, newValue ->
    observed = true
}

println(max) // 0
println("observed is ${observed}") // false

max = 10
println(max) // 10
println("observed is ${observed}") // true 
   //sampleEnd
}
