*    @description of the program: 
*
*    This a basic program that uses digital input-output functions.
*    It counts how many times the button is pressed and displays the 
*    resulting value as 4-bit binary on LPC1768 leds. 
*     
*    @connections: Pull up button with 10k resistor is connected to pin 18.
