int button=2; int buttonVal; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(button,INPUT); digitalWrite(button,HIGH); } void loop() { buttonVal=digitalRead(button); Serial.print("Your Button is: "); Serial.println(buttonVal); } why is it 0 when I press the button

No The voltage on the pin is 0, and the current is flowing through the built in pullup resistor, which is about 20K and 50K, from about 5V to 0V I will leave it to you to calculate the current using Ohms law if you want to
