Usage:

buttonWait(<pin_number>);

2_code.ino

/* the function */
void buttonWait(int buttonPin){
  int buttonState = 0;
  while(1){
    buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
    if (buttonState == HIGH) {
      return;
    }
  }
}


void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  buttonWait(2); // wait for button press on pin 2
  // do something
  // ...
}

3_example.ino

/* the function */
void buttonWait(int buttonPin){
  int buttonState = 0;
  while(1){
    buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
    if (buttonState == HIGH) {
      return;
    }
  }
}

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  buttonWait(2); // wait for button press on pin 2
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on
  delay(1000); //wait for a second
  buttonWait(2); // wait for another button press on pin 2
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off
  delay(1000); //wait for a second
}

how did you solve it?
