How to read and store user input as an integer.

I'm making a program that takes user input and deals with arrays and such.

I have to take the users input and store it as a variable.

for example,

prompt = 'How many elements do you want to review?: ';

txt = input(prompt,"s");

i want to store what the user has put in as a variable so i can use a function later on.

Either:

num = input(prompt);
num = round(num);  % to be sure

or:

txt = input(prompt, 's');
num = sscanf(txt, '%i', 1);
