What are some real-world examples of debouncing in programming?

Debouncing is a technique used to limit the rate at which a function is executed. A common example is in search input fields, where you want to wait until the user has stopped typing before sending a request to the server.

Can you give me another example?

Sure! Another example is in window resizing events. Instead of triggering a function every time the window is resized, debouncing allows you to wait until the user has finished resizing.

How does debouncing improve performance?

Debouncing improves performance by reducing the number of function calls, which can save resources and enhance user experience by preventing unnecessary operations.

Are there any libraries that help with debouncing?

Yes, libraries like Lodash provide a debounce function that makes it easy to implement debouncing in your applications.
