# On Button Event
|
|
|
|
Start an [event handler](/reference/event-handler) (part of the program that will run when something happens, like when a button is pressed).
|
|
This handler works when button `A` or `B` is pressed, or `A` and `B` together.
|
|
When you are using this function in a web browser, click the buttons on the screen instead of the ones
|
|
on the @boardname@.
|
|
|
|
* For button `A` or `B`: This handler works when the button is pushed down and released within 1 second.
|
|
* For `A` and `B` together: This handler works when `A` and `B` are both pushed down, then one of them is released within 1.5 seconds of pushing down the second button.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
input.onButtonEvent(Button.A, ButtonEvent.Click, () => {})
|
|
```

|
## Example: count button clicks
|
|
|
|
This example counts how many times you press the `A` button.
|
|
Each time you press the button, the [LED screen](/device/screen) shows the `count` variable getting bigger.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let count = 0
|
|
basic.showNumber(count)
|
|
input.onButtonEvent(Button.A, ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
|
|
count++;
|
|
basic.showNumber(count);
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example: roll dice
|
|
|
|
This example shows a number from 1 to 6 when you press the `B` button.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonEvent(Button.B, ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
|
|
let dice = randint(0, 5) + 1
|
|
basic.showNumber(dice)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## ~hint
|
|
|
|
This program adds a `1` to `random(5)` so the numbers on the dice will come out right.
|
|
Otherwise, sometimes they would show a `0`.
