+    **Example**
 
-        The template is used inside a qnode.
-        The number of shots has to be explicitly set on the device when using sample-based measurements:
+    This template changes the sign of the basis state passed as an argument.
+    In this example, when passing the element ``[1, 0]``, we will change the sign of the state :math:`|10\rangle`.
+    We could alternatively pass the integer ``2`` and get the same result since its binary representation is ``[1, 0]``.
