Button press making variable equal 0

Projects Programming

Ive been working on some code that has 2 buttons to move a variable up or down by one and a button ot reset it to zero. After struggling for some time i made it work my multiplying the variable by zero if the conditions are met. Theres got to be a better way of doing this just curious what it is?

This is a sample of the code ive been using.

Thanks!

 if (NextState != lastNextState){

    if (NextState == LOW){
      buttonPushCounter++;
    }
    delay(200);
  }
  lastNextState = NextState;

  if (PrevState != lastPrevState){
    if (PrevState == LOW){
      buttonPushCounter--;
    }
    delay(200);
  }
  lastPrevState = PrevState;

   if (ClearState != lastClearState){
    if (ClearState == LOW){
     buttonPushCounter *= 0; 
    }
    delay(200);
     lastClearState = ClearState;
2 
 buttonPushCounter = 0;

buttonPushCounter = 0;

I swear i tried it just like that before messing with multiplying by zero and it didn't work. Seems to work now tho!

Maybe you had:
buttonPushCounter == 0;
