### Parameters ### Parameters
* name - [String](/reference/types/string); input button "A", "B", or "A+B" (both input buttons) * ``name`` is a [String](/reference/types/string). You should store `A` in it to check the left button, `B` to check the right button, or `A+B` to check both at the same time.
### Returns ### Returns
* [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean) - `true` if pressed, `false` if not pressed * [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean) that is `true` if the button you are checking is pressed, `false` if it is not pressed.
### Example ### Example
The following code uses an [if](/reference/logic/if) statement to run code, depending on whether or not the A button is pressed: This program uses an [if](/reference/logic/if) to run
one part of the program if the `A` button is pressed, and
another part if it is not pressed.
```blocks ```blocks
basic.forever(() => { basic.forever(() => {
let pressed = input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A) let pressed = input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)
if (pressed) { if (pressed) {
// this code runs if the A button is pressed // this part runs if the A button is pressed
basic.showNumber(1, 150) basic.showNumber(1, 150)
} else { } else {
// this code runs if the A button is *not* pressed // this part runs if the A button is *not* pressed
basic.showNumber(0, 150) basic.showNumber(0, 150)
} }
}) })
