Msg is an atomic Elm topic inside Elm Architecture. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what Msg changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
elm-06-02-msg.elm
elm
Try It Live
type Msg = Increment | Reset
Edge case / engineering note
Change the key input in this Elm example and predict the result first; the named construct should be the reason the behavior changes.
