Arduino Button Presses Counter

This is a Arduino programming assignment that I have halfway completed. The first half of this assignment was using a breadboard with two buttons and an led. One of the buttons would turn on the led and the other button turns off the led. I have completed this portion with it working and will attach the C++ code. The remaining portion of the assignment is to have the serial monitor record the amount of times each button was pressed. This is the part I would like assistance with. Here is the C++ code below if you are unable to open the ino file type. int ledPin = 5; // our led that we visually check. D5 PWM port int buttonApin = 9; // left side button (toward top of board) that turns it on. D9 PWM port int buttonBpin = 8; // right side button that turns it off. D8 PWM port byte leds = 0; void setup () { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // our led is an output pinMode(buttonApin, INPUT_PULLUP); // the pins are to be used inputs pinMode(buttonBpin, INPUT_PULLUP); } void loop () // when button A is pressed the led will be lit up, when button B is pressed the button the led will be off { if (digitalRead(buttonApin) == LOW) { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); } if (digitalRead(buttonBpin) == LOW) { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); } }
