Hi, Thanks for reading this.
I have to call a function, then it appears I need to request more data from within the function. Data the user is supposed to type on the screen. How do I do this? The problem is stated as:
I have to admit I'm a little unclear with regard to what the problem statement is requesting.

Something like this:
function out = year2016(m)
VN = datenum([2016,m,1]):datenum([2016,m+1,1])-1;
DN = 1+mod(VN-3,7);
MC = {'January';'February';'March';'April';'May';'June';'July';'August';'September';'October';'November';'December'};
DC = {'Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'};
out = struct('day',DC(DN),'date',num2cell(1:numel(VN)));
[out(:).month] = deal(MC{m});
end
And tested:
>> m = year2016(12); m(8)
ans =
    day = Thu
    date =  8
    month = December
>> m = year2016(1); m(1)
ans =
    day = Fri
    date =  1
    month = January
>> m = year2016(2); m(29)
ans =
    day = Mon
    date =  29
    month = February
