It's my custom debounce code
It keeps the led on by flipping the required threshold value when triggered after the led has turned on to keep the led in a high state and vice verse triggered again, the comments on the code explain it in more detail.
/*
* This code is my custom debounce code, I made this but this isn't working as planned,
* see the thing is that it turns on when I hold the button and if I release it,
* it starts to flickers and then gradually turn off, what is wrong with my code ?
* I can't see it.
