What is debounce?

The term debounce comes from electronics. When youโre pressing a button, letโs say on your TV remote, the signal travels to the microchip of the remote so quickly that before you manage to release the button, it bounces, and the microchip registers your โclickโ multiple times.
To mitigate this, once a signal from the button is received, the microchip stops processing signals from the button for a few microseconds while itโs physically impossible for you to press it again.
