prompt the user 'please enter the fin dimensions [l,b, w] as a vector" and assign the user input to variables l, b, w, respectively in matlab

To prompt the user for input in Matlab, you can use the input function. Specifically, for this task, you can use it to prompt the user to enter a vector of three values, and then assign each value to its own variable.

Here is an example code snippet that accomplishes this task:

main.m
% Prompt user for fin dimensions as a vector
input_str = 'Please enter the fin dimensions [l,b,w] as a vector: ';
fin_vec = input(input_str);

% Extract vector elements to individual variables
l = fin_vec(1);
b = fin_vec(2);
w = fin_vec(3);
241 chars
9 lines

This code prompts the user with the message "Please enter the fin dimensions [l,b,w] as a vector", waits for the user to enter a vector of 3 values (separated by spaces or commas), and then stores the vector in the variable fin_vec.

Finally, the code extracts the individual values from the vector and assigns them to the variables l, b, and w, respectively.
