I am struggling to fidn a way to check a input if its any type of string or char and if so reprompt the user.

Code is below:

a = input("Please enter a number: "); %Takes user input for number that is to be converted
while isempty(a)
    disp('Invalid input please enter a number!')
    a = input("Please enter a number: ");
end
convtype = input("Please enter the conversion type: "); %Takes user input for the cnversion type that they want
while isempty(convtype)|| convtype < 1 || convtype > 14
    disp('Invalid conversion type selection please make a selection between 1 and 14!')
    convtype = input("Please enter the conversion type: ");
end

If you specify the 's' option then INPUT will always return a character vector:

txt = input(prompt,'s')

so it will return that value as a charecter lets say I need to use that value later for a calculation I would need to convert it back to a numerical input. Also if I were to do this would I use ischar() to check if its charecter to ten reprompt the user to re-enter their value?

a = input("Please enter a number: "); %Takes user input for number that is to be converted
while ~isnumeric(a) || numel(a) ~= 1
    disp('Invalid input please enter a number!')
    a = input("Please enter a number: ");
end
convtype = input("Please enter the conversion type, integer 1 to 14: "); %Takes user input for the cnversion type that they want
while ~isnumeric(convtype) || numel(convtype) ~= 1 || convtype ~= floor(convtype) || convtype < 1 || convtype > 14
    disp('Invalid conversion type selection please make a selection between 1 and 14!')
    convtype = input("Please enter the conversion type as an integer 1 to 14: ");
end
