+  Marking a property as tracked means that when that property changes,

+  When something changes the component's `remainingApples` property, the rerender
+  will be scheduled.
+
+  @example Dependents
+
+  In the case that you have a computed property that depends other
+  properties, you want to track both so that when one of the
+  dependents change, a rerender is scheduled.
+
+  In the following example we have two properties,
+  `eatenApples`, and `remainingApples`.
