A bowl of fruit demonstrates the D3 general update pattern, showing five apples that become one lemon while circles and text labels update together in SVG. The code uses `select`, `range`, and `scaleOrdinal` from D3 v5 to map fruit types to colors and radii, with `fruitBowl` as a local ES6 module handling enter, update, and exit selections. The single lemon replaces an apple at index 2, and the visualization re-renders with layered transitions on both shapes and text.
