The part that isn't so obvious is that your program will be in an idle loop (or executing other routines) waiting for a finger to press a switch.

Then as soon as a switch press is detected, you should begin a new waiting loop. This is because you cannot assume the first value you see is what the user intends.

The user may be about to press other switches as well.

Wait for maybe 1/10 second. Exit the loop.

Then see which switches are pressed. Take that as the input value.

Experiment with shorter or longer delay loops, til you get a delay time that works best.
