Late subscriber behaviour
import { Subject, BehaviorSubject, ReplaySubject } from 'rxjs';

const s = new Subject<number>();
const b = new BehaviorSubject<number>(0);   // initial value
const r = new ReplaySubject<number>(2);     // buffer last 2

s.next(1); b.next(1); r.next(1); r.next(2);

s.subscribe(v => console.log('subject:', v));   // (nothing — missed 1)
b.subscribe(v => console.log('behavior:', v));  // 1  (current value)
r.subscribe(v => console.log('replay:', v));    // 1, 2  (last two)
