I'm trying to control a servo with a push of a button but its not working HELP

Question

I'm new to Arduino and I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2HMJiy9b_I but the problem is the servo just keeps moving back and forwards on it own and the button is doing nothing when pressed please help.

Code:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo
#define servoPin 3 //~
#define pushButtonPin 2 

int angle =90;    // initial angle  for servo
int angleStep =5;
const int minAngle = 50;
const int maxAngle = 110;

int buttonPushed =0;

void setup() {
  // Servo button demo by Robojax.com
  Serial.begin(9600);          //  setup serial
  myservo.attach(servoPin);  // attaches the servo on pin 3 to the servo object
  pinMode(pushButtonPin,INPUT_PULLUP);
   Serial.println("Robojax Servo Button ");
}

void loop() {
  if(digitalRead(pushButtonPin) == LOW){
    buttonPushed = 1;
  }
   if( buttonPushed ){
  // change the angle for next time through the loop:
  angle = angle + angleStep;

    // reverse the direction of the moving at the ends of the angle:
    if (angle <= minAngle || angle >= maxAngle) {
      angleStep = -angleStep;
       buttonPushed = 0;
    }
    myservo.write(angle); // move the servo to desired angle
      Serial.print("Moved to: ");
      Serial.print(angle);   // print the angle
      Serial.println(" degree");    
  delay(100); // waits for the servo to get there
   }


}

This condition below is never met because a boolean comparison is implied :

if( buttonPushed ){

and buttonPushed is declared as :

int buttonPushed =0;

A proper comparison should be OK :

if( buttonPushed == 1) 
{ 
   // Do something
}

Also the buttons need proper debouncing or the push event will have undetectable results :
