How do I input names properly in a script?
Show older comments
I want it to say "Davis's BODYMASSINDEX" when I type it into the command window, but I don't know how?
The stuff below is what I typed into a script
height=input('enter your height in feet:');
weight=input('enter your weight in pounds:');
name=input('enter your first name:','s');
BODYMASSINDEX = weight/(height^2)

height=input('enter your height in feet:');
weight=input('enter your weight in pounds:');
name=input('enter your first name:','s');
BODYMASSINDEX = weight/(height^2) ;
fprintf('%s BODYMASSINDEX = %f\n',name,BODYMASSINDEX)

Hi brandon
Do you want to display something like "Davis's BODYMASSINDEX" after you have input the name and another variable?
f yes then you can use the "disp" function to display that. For example:
height=input('enter your height in feet:')
weight=input('enter your weight in pounds:')
prompt = 'Enter your name: ';
name = input(prompt, 's');
BODYMASSINDEX = weight/(height^2)
disp(name + "'s BODYMASSINDEX: " + (BODYMASSINDEX))
I hope this resolves your question.
Regards,
Tushar
