Using switch to change display pattern of 5 LEDs

by Oscar
In this project, I will show you how to control multiple LEDs, and use a switch button to change displaying pattern. I will also show you how to include header file to make code tidier.
Everytime button is pressed, it switches the lighting patterns. The patterns are:
0. all off
1. all on
2. one at a time and keep changing.
