im pretty new to coding, ive been searching around and nothing i can find will help, im using arduino and trying to use a push button to start and stop a song. it responds to it starting but wont stop midway or anything till done.



C++:
#include "pitches.h"

int buzzerPin = 6;
int btn = 2;

int melody[] = {
  NOTE_G4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_E4, NOTE_E4,
  NOTE_A4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_F4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_C4, NOTE_C4,
  NOTE_D4, NOTE_D4, NOTE_E4, NOTE_F4, NOTE_F4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_G4,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_E4, NOTE_E4,
  NOTE_A4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_F4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_C4, NOTE_C4,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_G4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_E4, NOTE_E4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_A4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_F5,
  NOTE_F5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_C5,
  NOTE_D5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_A4, NOTE_A4,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_B4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_C4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_C5
};

int noteDurations[] = {
  8, 4, 6, 16, 4, 8, 8,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 8, 8,
  4, 8, 8, 4, 8, 8, 4, 8, 8, 2,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 8, 8,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 8, 8,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 6, 16,
  4, 6, 16, 8, 8, 8, 8,
  2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8,
  2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 6, 16, 4, 8, 8, 2,
  2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 8, 2,
  2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 8, 2,
  4, 6, 16, 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1
};

void setup() {
 pinMode(btn, INPUT);
 pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
 Serial.begin(9600);
  noTone(buzzerPin);
}

void loop() {
  
   byte buttonState = digitalRead(btn);  //read the button and save its state
Serial.println(buttonState);//print for debugging

if (buttonState == LOW){
}
      
      
    for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < sizeof(melody) / 2; thisNote++) {{
    if (buttonState == HIGH)break;
       digitalWrite(buzzerPin, LOW);
    
    
    int noteDuration = 2000 / noteDurations[thisNote];
    tone(buzzerPin, melody[thisNote], noteDuration);
    int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
    delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
  
    }
          }
    Serial.println(buttonState);
  }
 
Hello, @redcccp2002.

If you want to exit a loop(whether it be a for loop, while loop, do...while loop), you'll need to use the break statement. What this does is it "breaks" the loop and prevents it from continuing.

I don't know or use Arduino so I can't really help you much at all. I've noticed that you have a break statement in your if-statement which looking at, is contained within the for loop. I don't see anything wrong with the for loop itself - since I can't test this for myself, my suggestion would be to play around with the break statement, see where it works to get your desired result.

I hope this helped.
