Multicasting with operators

To see how multicasting works within a chain of operators, we are going to use Observable.range() and then map each emission to a random integer. Since these random values will be nondeterministic and different for each subscription, this will provide a good means to see whether our multicasting is working because Observers should receive the same numbers.

Let's start with emitting the numbers 1 through 3 and map each one to a random integer between 0 and 100,000. If we have two Observers, we can expect different integers for each one. Note that your output will be different than mine due to the random number generation and just acknowledge that both Observers are receiving different random integers:
