dialog box for coefficients

Hi,

I have a problem and I can't fixe it. I am a beginner in Matlab and I would to take the coefficients of adifferential equation. I wanted to use this method

prompt = {'Enter the order of the differential equation'};
dlg_title = 'Input';
num_lines = 1;
def = {'6'};
answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def);
order = str2num(answer{1});
prompt = {'Enter the first','Enter the second :'...};
...

Anybody have another better idea and which can work ?

Thank you very much

Cédric

You could try to create a GUI which has edit text fields/controls that the user could use to type in some values. Once all data has been entered, a Calculate button could be pressed to do whatever work needs to be done.
