# On Button Pressed
|
|
|
|
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@.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
count++;
|
|
basic.showNumber(count);
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example: roll dice
|
|
|
|
This example shows a number from 1 to 6 when you press the `B` button.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
let dice = Math.random(6) + 1
|
|
basic.showNumber(dice)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ~hint
|
|
|
|
This program adds a `1` to `random(6)` so the numbers on the dice will come out right.
|
|
Otherwise, sometimes they would show a `0`.
