I don't get any error when I run that code. What error do you get? Please give the complete error message. This means all of the red text.
I got this error even after i reinstalled MATLAB

The error message is telling you that you have a file named input: have a look at the second line of the error message: what does it say? Change the name of the file to something else.
Tip: always use which to check if a name is in use.

print is a built-in function, so it is not a good idea to call your m-file print.m. Rename the file and see if that fixes it.
