Temperature sensor problem

Okay just to give an idea whats on the table- I'm new I couldn't make a code without examples so I've come to ask.

The code I present here I hoped to print a reading from the temperature sensor when I press the push pin. However it doesn't work; honestly I'm surprised it doesn't have a error when I verify it. Any help would be wonderful...

int sensorPin = 0;
const int buttonPin = 2;
int buttonState = 0;

void setup()
{

pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()
{
if (buttonState == HIGH) {

int reading = analogRead(sensorPin);
float voltage = reading * 5.0 / 1024;

Serial.print(voltage); Serial.println(" volts");
float temperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 10 ;

Serial.print(temperatureC); Serial.println(" degress C");
float temperatureF = (temperatureC * 9 / 5) + 32;

Serial.print(temperatureF); Serial.println(" degress F");

delay(1000);
}
}

int sensorPin = 0;                                   
const int buttonPin = 2;
int buttonState = 0;


void setup()
{
                         
 pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
 Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()
{
  [glow]buttonState = digitalRead( buttonPin );[/glow]

 if (buttonState == HIGH) {
   
  int reading = analogRead(sensorPin);
float voltage = reading * 5.0 / 1024;
                    
  Serial.print(voltage); Serial.println(" volts");
float temperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 10 ;

Serial.print(temperatureC); Serial.println(" degress C");
float temperatureF = (temperatureC * 9 / 5) + 32;

Serial.print(temperatureF); Serial.println(" degress F");

delay(1000);
  } 
}

Thank you, and... amazing. It's going to be interesting learning this language.
