Prompt user for a text string

This keeps coming up as an error, what am I doing wrong?

 prompt= 'State your name, Your Grace ';
  name=input(prompt);

Answer 1

[Chad Greene]

I think you want

name=input(prompt,'s');

to specify a string.

Not sure what you are asking.

N = 5;
ins = cell(N,1);
for K = 1 : ins
    ins{K} = input(sprintf('enter input #%d', K), 's');
end

strjoin(ins, ', ')

ais=input('Give me a letter you would like converted to a number: ','s')
alphabet=['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z']
for k=1:1:26
    if strcmp(ais,alphabet(k))==1
        disp([char(ais) ' is letter ' num2str(k) ' in the alphabet!'])
    end
    
end

I do not see how that code is a solution to any topic that was being discussed here?
