Drop and Delay Observable Emissions with RxJS debounce

you drop some emissions, while at the same time delaying the other emissions in the case emissions Debounce and debounceTime operators are similar to delayWhen and delay, with the difference that they may drop some emissions. This lesson teaches you how debounce works and where is it useful, for instance when building a type-ahead UI.

🚨 Since we are importing interval from RxJS, we don't need to preface our Observables with Rx.Observable. You can no longer .{operator}, you need to .pipe({operator}) instead. To link together multiple Observables and Operators, the method is a bit different. You call zip first, then list your Observables, your functions, then pipe your Operators.

I do not get this one. So if the interval is 100 and debounceTime is set to anything above 100, it will take only the latest emitted value. But why does it take different values as last when I set interval to 100 and the debounceTime to 99?
