Hi eveyone, very new to aduino, as used to pic micro assembly so new stuff to me

Can anyone help with a project I need to make.

16 switches, and when the switch is pressed the lcd displays the message switch 1 pressed switch 2 pressed etc.

Just need a starting help, that I can modify later if need be.
Much help would be appreciated

You should consider to build a switch matrix, to reduce the number of required input pins. Or use shift registers or port expanders to connect so many switches.

See the button related examples in the IDE, how to debounce switches using the Arduino API.
