Im am working on this project and can’t seem to understand how i can make the ball react to the second paddle aswell as the first. Have in mind that im a beginner and don’t understand a lot of code.  
Translation:  
Fart = Speed  
Hoyde = Height  
Bredde = Width  
rekkert = paddle

float ballX;  
float ballY;  
float ballXFart = 2;  
float ballYFart = 2;  
float ballRadius = 9;  
float ballDiameter = ballRadius \* 2;  
float rekkertHoyde = 66;  
float rekkertBredde = 5;  
float rekkert1X = 20;  
float rekkert1Y = 100;  
float rekkert2X = 580;  
float rekkert2Y = 100;

void setup() {  
size(600, 300);

ballX = width / 2;  
ballY = height / 2;  
}

void draw() {  
if (keyPressed) {  
if (keyCode == UP) {  
rekkert1Y = rekkert1Y - 2;  
}  
if (keyCode == DOWN) {  
rekkert1Y = rekkert1Y + 2;  
}  
}  
if (keyPressed) {  
if (key == ‘w’) {  
rekkert2Y = rekkert2Y - 2;  
}  
if (key == ‘s’) {  
rekkert2Y = rekkert2Y + 2;  
}  
}  
if (ballX-ballRadius \< rekkert1X + rekkertBredde && ballX + ballRadius \> rekkert1X) {  
if (ballY \< rekkert1Y + rekkertHoyde && ballY \> rekkert1Y) {  
ballX = ballX + rekkertBredde;  
ballXFart = -ballXFart;  
}  
}  
ballX = ballX + ballXFart;  
ballY = ballY + ballYFart;

if (ballX \< ballRadius) {  
}  
if (ballX \> width - ballRadius) {  
ballXFart = -ballXFart;  
}  
if (ballY \< ballRadius) {  
ballYFart = -ballYFart;  
}  
if (ballY \> height - ballRadius) {  
ballYFart = -ballYFart;  
}

background(0);  
rect(rekkert1X, rekkert1Y, rekkertBredde, rekkertHoyde);  
rect(rekkert2X, rekkert2Y, rekkertBredde, rekkertHoyde);  
ellipse(ballX, ballY, ballDiameter, ballDiameter);  
}  
If you see the solution please tell me, thank you.

Here you check against rekkert1 - you want to copy the entire section and change it for rekkert2
