This example demonstrates the D3 general update pattern for data joins, showing a bowl of fruit that changes over time as apples are eaten or replaced with lemons. The visualization uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, where circles and text labels are bound to an array of fruit objects. The code explicitly handles enter, update, and exit selections through `selection.merge()` and `selection.exit().remove()`, while `scaleOrdinal` maps fruit types to colors and radii. A series of `setTimeout` callbacks triggers state changes, animating the transitions between the three fruit configurations.
