How can i space out my code and interact with the prompt?

In an m-file when run is clicked all my code executes at the same time, is there any way in which I can space out or delay some code? Also what is the shortcut to enable the m-file to interact with the prompt, for example if the m-file asked a question eg. 12 times 2, and at the prompt the correct answer was given how could I then reply through the m-file? Thanks,

To input data from the command prompt use:

help input

To pause a function you can use:

help keyboard

You might also want to learn about debugging.

help dbstop

or hit F12 on the line you want the code to stop on.
