+Here are the code examples from Chapter 1 
+of [Foundations of Computing and Programming: exploring the micro:bit](../fcp).
+You can switch between the Blocks and JavaScript versions of each example,
+as well as run the example in the web browser, and retrieve a file to
+install on a micro:bit.

+## Figure 1.12
+
+Take action on button A/B pressed.
+```blocks
+input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
