MATLAB: Couldnt able to use switch statement with string

switch strings

w=input('enter the weight ')
material=input('enter type of material ','s');
material=lower('material');
f1=0.2*w;
f2=0.35*w;
f3=0.4*w;
f4=0.7*w;
switch material
    case 'mmetal'
        disp(f1)
    case 'wwood'
        disp(f2)
    case 'mwood'
        disp(f3)
    case 'rcon'
        disp(f4)
    otherwise 
        disp('error')
end
it is jumping to otherwise line
and can we use mathematical operation and display that result under 'case' section
i.e for example
case mm
force =w*0.3

Best Answer

material=lower(material); without the single quote.
