# was Pressed
|
|
|
|
Check if a button was pressed earlier.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
brick.buttonEnter.wasPressed()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The fact that a button was pressed earlier is remembered. Once **was pressed** is used, this fact is forgotten and the result is `false` the next time you check with **was pressed** button _state_ is reset). But, if you press the button again before you check with **was pressed**, it will tell you `true`.

**Touch sensors**
|
|
|
|
Your @boardname@ has touch sensors that work like buttons. Instead of saying `enter` or `left` as the source button, use a touch sensor block with a sensor name like `touch 1`.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
if (sensors.touch1.wasPressed()) {
|
|
console.log("Hey, I was pressed.");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Read about [touch sensors](/reference/sensors/touch-sensor) and using them as touch buttons.
|

|
## Returns
|
|
|
|
* a [boolean](types/boolean): `true` if the button was pressed before, `false` if the button was not pressed before
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Set the brick light to green if the `right` button was pressed before the `left` button. If not, the brick light is turned off when the `left` button is pressed.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Bumped, function() {
|
|
if (brick.buttonRight.wasPressed()) {
|
|
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)
|
|
} else {
|
|
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Off)
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
