I want to code on my arduino nano. I want to press a button that turns on a led. Please display the state of the LED on the serial monitor.

Sure, here's a simple code you can use for your setup. Keep in mind to replace the pin numbers for both the button and LED with the ones you're using in your setup:

```
#include <Arduino.h>

int buttonPin = 2; // Replace with your button pin
int ledPin = 13; // Replace with your LED pin

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

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(buttonPin) == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Button pressed, turning on LED");
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    Serial.println("Button isn't pressed, turning off LED");
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
  delay(100);
}
```

This code will continuously check if the button is pressed, and if it is, it will turn on the LED. It will also display a message in the Serial Monitor. Make sure your Arduino board is properly connected and has the right Arduino IDE version installed.

To achieve this, you'll need to connect an LED and a button to your Arduino Nano, and then upload a sketch (code) to control the LED based on button input. Here's a simple guide to set up the hardware and software.

**Hardware connections:**

1. Connect one leg of the button to Arduino Nano digital pin 2 and the other leg to GND (ground). If you're using a breadboard, it's a good idea to connect a pull-down resistor (like 10kΩ) between the button pin and GND to prevent false triggering.

2. Connect the longer leg of the LED (anode) to Arduino Nano digital pin 13, and connect the shorter leg (cathode) to a 220Ω resistor. Connect the other end of the resistor to GND.

**Arduino Sketch:**

```cpp
#define LED_PIN 13
#define BUTTON_PIN 2

int buttonState;

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // Use the internal pull-up resistor
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  buttonState = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN);

  if (buttonState == LOW) {
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
    Serial.println("LED ON");
  } else {
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    Serial.println("LED OFF");
  }

  delay(100); // Add a short delay to avoid excessive serial output
}
```

**Explanation of the code:**

1. The `LED_PIN` and `BUTTON_PIN` constants define the Arduino Nano pins connected to the LED and button, respectively.
2. The `buttonState` variable will hold the current state of the button.
3. In the `setup` function, configure the LED pin as an output and the button pin as an input with an internal pull-up resistor. Initialize the serial communication at 9600 baud.
4. In the `loop` function, read the button state and turn on the LED if the button is pressed. If the button is not pressed, turn off the LED.
5. Use `Serial.println` to display the LED state on the Serial Monitor.
6. The `delay` function adds a short delay between each loop iteration to prevent excessive serial output.

After the sketch is uploaded to your Arduino Nano, open the Serial Monitor to see the LED state while pressing the button. The Serial Monitor can be accessed by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the Arduino IDE or by selecting "Tools" > "Serial Monitor."
