If you are expecting a command line input you can use the INPUT command:

A quick and nice graphic way is to use the function INPUTDLG:

clear

clc

stu_id=0.2529;

prompt = {'Gravity (g):','Angle (a):','iv (V0):'};

dlg_title = 'Enter the values for';

num_lines = 1;

def = {'9.81','35','25.820880000000002'};

answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def);

how do i now use the user provided data?
