Help needed to write more than 255 on eeprom

Other Hardware Storage
1

When a button is pressed the count is written into the eeprom and then this value is read then displayed on the 16x2 lcd... This is the program...

I thought It would be easy but later I discovered the eeprom is 8bit
My problem is I can't write beyond '255' on eeprom instead of '256' it's written as 0... Is there a way around this issue...

I'm new to Arduino , just learning... taking baby steps to the programming world...

I assume you are using the eeprom write method, instead use the put and get

See the examples of the EEPROM library

Easy. 2 bytes of eeprom can store a 16 bit integer. 4 bytes of eeprom can store a 32 bit integer.

Just keep in mind the size of the variables you're storing.  You can't store three ints in EEPROM addresses 0, 1, and 2 and expect to get intelligible results back.
