MATLAB: How to store function [x] = input(‘blah’)

Question

Hello, I'm trying to store my input into another variable while being called from another function.

function hiloTest()

gameOver = 0;

    while gameOver == 0
       [gameOver, guess] = showResults()
    end
end
function [gameOver, guess] = showResults()
gameOver = false;
ii = 46;
%I want to store this [x] = inPut() function's input into variable named 'guess'
[x] = inPut()
  while (gameOver == 0)
      if (guess < ii)
          disp('Close, but you need to go a bit higher.');
          [x] = inPut();
      elseif (guess > ii)
          disp('Your guess is high. Please try again.');
          [x] = inPut();
      else
          disp('Right, you got it. Thank you for playing.');
          gameOver = true;
      end
  end
end
function [x] = inPut()
  [x] = input('Please enter a number between 1 and 100: ');
end

I still got lots to learn, please help. Thank you in advance 😀

Answer 1

As far as I understand you want that the input variable to be a number called guess. For your usage of the input function that should be simply

 guess = x;

But why don't you simplify it into

 guess = input('Please enter a number between 1 and 100: ');

The function inPut seems superfluous.
