This example demonstrates the general update pattern for data joins in D3, showing how circles representing fruit are added, removed, and modified over time. Five apples render initially, then one is eaten, an apple is replaced with a lemon, and another apple is removed via timed `setTimeout` calls. The `fruitBowl` function uses `selection.data`, `enter`, `merge`, and `exit` to handle three states, with `d3.scaleOrdinal` mapping fruit types to colors and radii. The SVG circles update smoothly without transitions, using d3.v5 and ES6 module imports.
