Implement a debounce function

Q: Implement a debounce function

This question evaluates a candidate's ability to implement a debounce utility using runtime features such as closures, timers, and function-context preservation, testing competencies in function design, stateful behavior, and event-rate control within the Coding & Algorithms domain.

Problem: Implement `debounce(fn, wait)`

Implement a debounce utility function.

Behavior

Given a function fn and a delay wait (milliseconds), debounce(fn, wait) returns a new function debounced such that:

When debounced(...args) is called repeatedly, it postpones calling fn until after wait ms have elapsed since the most recent call.
When the timer finally expires, fn is invoked once with the latest arguments and the original this context.

Requirements

Preserve this binding when invoking fn .
The returned function should be callable multiple times.

Optional extensions (if time)

Support debounced.cancel() to cancel a pending invocation.
Support debounced.flush() to immediately run the pending invocation (if any).
