You need a cell array since they can have different lengths. Use braces instead of parentheses: b{c,1}

u know how to make number (1) beside the text "what's the name?"

i got example from internet but when i try that in my code, i got error

this is the example

for i = 1:m

for j = 1:n

str = ['Enter element in row ' num2str(i) ', col ' num2str(j) ': '];

when i try that 'num2str(c)' i got the error :'(

Use sprintf() instead.

Hi...

 This may help you and it will take both string&character but it can store a single character.

a= input ('The number of participant :'); for c=1:a x=input('Whats the name ','s'); b(c)=x; b(c)= input('Whats his/her value '); end %%FOR DISPLAY for c=1:a disp(b(c)); disp(d(c)); end
