i've created a function to gather x and y coordinates from user, but i dont know how to call them out in program

function [abscissa,ordinate]=inputPoints(n)
  clc;
  s = 'Please enter points, one per point per line, in the form (#,#).';
  disp(s);
  for i = 1:n
      enteredString = input('Point:  ','s');
      points(i,1:5) = sscanf(enteredString,'%c%d%c%d%c',[1,5]);
      abscissa(i)=points(i,2);
      ordinate(i)=points(i,4);
  end
  clc;
end

I'm not sure what you mean by "call them out in program", but you can call this function in the Command Window or in another script/function using:

[x,y] = inputPoints(4); % if I wanted 4 points, for example
