What is the difference between toggle switch and a push button?

A toggle switch is like a light switch. You flick (or 'toggle') the switch on or off and it stays in that position until you flick it again.

You could compare a push button switch to a key on a keyboard. When you press a key momentarily it will display one letter on the screen. If you hold down the key, the same letter will repeat (e.g. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa).

Toggle switches can also look like push button switches. Most power buttons on a desktop computer tower is a toggle switch. The reset button on a computer tower is a push button switch.
