My "setup" and "loop" from "void loop()" and "voidsetup()" aren't bold...
they used to always be whenever i typed them into the ide.

 Also now there is an error message saying
"ledOn' was not declared in this scope"

Code:

int switchPin = 8;
int ledPin = 13;
boolean lastButton = LOW;
boolean ledOn = false;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
  void loop()
 {
   if(digitalRead(switchPin) == HIGH && lastButton == LOW)
   {
     ledON = !ledON;
    lastButton = HIGH;
   }
   else
   {
     lastButton = digitalRead(switchPin);
   }
   digitalWrite(ledPin,ledON);
 }

Code:

boolean ledOn = false;

...lower case n

Code:

     ledON = !ledON;
...
   digitalWrite(ledPin,ledON);

...upper case N

The error message is because you declare it as ledOn, with a lowercase n, but try to use ledON, with an uppercase N.

Great minds think alike

Indeed you have to spell consistently including case to program.  Or use an editor with auto-complete on variable names.

I would be interested in such an editor.  Can you recommend one ?

If that's what you wanted, why didn't you say so?
