This example demonstrates the general update pattern for handling special cases in D3 data joins. A bowl of apples is initially rendered, then undergoes sequential modifications: an apple is removed, one is replaced with a lemon, and another is deleted. Using `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and the `fruitBowl` function with `merge`, the SVG updates handle enter, update, and exit states for both circles and text labels, with colors and radii mapped via `scaleOrdinal`.
