Hi Bryon,

All the statements are true for the "input" function. For more information about the "input" function, please refer to the documentation link.

Here are a few examples that might help you.

Enter Input:[1 2; 3 4]

variable1 =

1 2

3 4

>> variable1 = input("Enter Input:")  % After semi-colon pressed “Enter”. Input is vector.

Enter Input:[1 2;] [AD1]

variable1 =

1 2

>> a = input("Enter Input:") % After semi-colon, use “Shift+Enter” to make entry for new row.
