Debouncing is a programming technique used to control how often a function is executed, particularly when the event triggering the function happens frequently in a short time span.

In this example, we have a button that tracks two things when clicked: Number of times the button is clicked: Each time the button is clicked, a counter increments to reflect the total number of times the button was pressed.

Number of times the debounced function is executed: Debouncing ensures that only one function execution happens within a certain time period, even if the button is clicked multiple times in quick succession.

The second counter tracks how many times the function is actually executed, ignoring the rapid clicks that occur within the debounce delay.

How it works: Every click increments the clickCount counter. However, if clicks happen too frequently (within the debounce delay), they won't trigger the function immediately. Only after the user pauses clicking for a specific delay does the function execute, incrementing the debounceCount.

Throttling is a technique used to limit the execution of a function to once every specified interval, regardless of how often the event is triggered.

In this example, we have a button that tracks two things when clicked:

Number of times the button is clicked: This counter increments each time the button is pressed, reflecting the total number of user clicks.

Number of times the throttled function is executed: Throttling ensures that the function is executed once after a specified time interval, regardless of how many times the button is clicked during that interval.
