set variables in netlogo

Say there are two variables: x and y. Let x be a function of y, e.g. set x 2 * y.

If future lines of the code alter the value of y, the value of x does not seem to automatically update, without me specifying again: set x 2 * y.

Is it possible to create a variable as a function of other variables, which automatically updates without having to set it again?

Instead of using variables for this, you should define a reporter:

to-report x
  report 2 * y
end

though, for the sake of those reading your code and for your future self looking back at your code, use more descriptive variable names than x and y :)
