help phrasing code to have multible buttons and pots

slightly frustrated lol

this is the code im using ti read the state of 1 pushbutton with debounce and state change and one pot and they out put midi messages i would like to know if some one could show me how to phrase this code so that i may have multiple buttons and multible pots? my set up us 12 buttons and 4 pots thank you so much

Are you familiar with arrays ?
If not, then it is probably time to read up on them. Using an array you can hold a series of related values such as a series of button reads. The advantage of using an array over a separate variable for each button is that you can run through them using a for loop.

Have a look at this for some ideas Example code for multi-button checker with debouncing « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!

thank you that helped me go to were i was trying to go i have another question though i tryed to do the same with the pots but the out put isnt right
heres the code segment

  int potPin[] = {0,1,2};                 //choose the input pin for a potentometer
int potVal[] = {0,0,0};                 //variable for reading potentiometer value
int mappedPotVal[] = {0,0,0};           //variable for holding remapped pot value
int prevPotVal[] = {0,0,0};             //variable for storing our prev pot value
int THRESHOLD = 5;     
int MAX_POT = sizeof(potPin);




  
    for (int mypots = 0; mypots < MAX_POT - 1; mypots++){


//begin potcode
      potVal[mypots] = analogRead(potPin[mypots]);         //read input from potentiometer
      mappedPotVal[mypots] = map(potVal[mypots], 0, 1023, 0, 127);  //map value to 0-127
      if(abs(mappedPotVal[mypots] - prevPotVal[mypots]) >= THRESHOLD){
        sendmidi(0xB0, mypots, mappedPotVal[mypots]); //Control Change (Ch 1), Controller 7 - default control for volume.
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  
        prevPotVal[mypots] = mappedPotVal[mypots];
      }
      else{
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
      }
      // end pot code  


}

when i run the midi messages the output is constently chainging without any input amung all 3 pots i suspect its this part of the code but i dont know how to fix it

  sendmidi(0xB0, mypots, mappedPotVal[mypots]);
    for (int mypots = 0; mypots < MAX_POT - 1; mypots++){

What value does MAX_POT have?

int MAX_POT = sizeof(potPin);

The int array potPin has 3 elements. Therefore, MAX_POT has a value of 6. My guess is that that is not what you expect.

int MAX_POT = sizeof(potPin)/sizeof(potPin[0];

is the correct way to determine the number of elements in an array.

With your code, the loop will iterate while mypots is 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. These are NOT all valid indexes into the arrays, so you are reading garbage sometimes, and writing outside the bounds of other arrays.

If you change the valuation of MAX_POT, the for loop is still wrong. If MAX_POT is 3, the loop will iterate for mypots equal 0 and 1 (since 2 is not less than 3-1). Again, not the correct (as in not the complete range) of values for the array indexes.
