// check to see if you just pressed the button
// (i.e. the input went from LOW to HIGH), and you've waited

// If the switch changed, due to noise or pressing:
if (reading != lastButtonState) {
// reset the debouncing timer
lastDebounceTime = millis();
}
if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime) > debounceDelay) {
// whatever the reading is at, it's been there for longer
// than the debounce delay, so take it as the actual current state:
// if the button state has changed:
if (reading != buttonState) {
buttonState = reading;
// only toggle the LED if the new button state is HIGH
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
ledState = !ledState;
}

The part that is the problem it this:
void slowonalloff(){
// int delaytime = 350; //the time (in milliseconds) to pause between LEDs
//make smaller for quicker switching and larger for slower
//Turn each LED on one after another
for(int i = 0; i <= 9; i++){
digitalWrite(ledPins[i], HIGH);
delay(delayTime);
}
//Turn all LED off at one
for(int i = 0; i <pinCount; ){
digitalWrite(ledPins[i], LOW); //Turns all LED off at once
delay(delayTime);
}
}
When I power up, it goes on as it should, but only the first pin goes off and then the program freezes.
I have been looking all over after a solution to this little but BIG problem.
I'm sure it's just something I missed but please help me understand what?
