Please watch video to observe slight changes to that coode to adjust LED behaviour, and also to activate using internal pullup resoistor
void setup() {
 pinMode(A0,INPUT);
 pinMode(9,OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {  
  if(digitalRead(A0)==HIGH) 
    digitalWrite(9,HIGH);
  else
    digitalWrite(9,LOW); 
}
