MATLAB: How to use input to make a string and fprintf to output different parts of the string

fprintfinput

I'm trying to write a program that will allow the user to enter their name as a string. And then using fprintf, output the user’s name as well as the first and last letter of the users name separately.

Use the 's' option to read the input as a string. E.g.,

name=input('enter your name ','s');

Then you can use fprintf with three different %s formats to print out name, name(1), and name(end).

See if this works for you:

name=input('Enter your name:','s');

From the documentation for input:

str = input(prompt,'s') returns the entered text as a string, without evaluating the input as an expression.

sizegroup=input('Enter number of students: ');
for k = 1:sizegroup
    name=input('enter name: ', 's'); %read in name and score
    score = input ('enter score: ');
    name_score{k,1} = name;          %save to cell array  
    name_score{k,2} = score;
end
disp(name_score)
