The purpose of these two lines is for the user to input the name the "planet", then the next question asks the mass of the planet. In the second line, I am trying to call the variable 'name' so the question in line 2 incorporates the name of the planet. However, I get an error on the second line saying "Too many input arguments". Also, I am new to MATLAB. Please help
name = input('What is the name of the exoplanet? ', 's');
massplanet = input('What is the estimated mass of %s (kg)? ', 's', name);

massplanet = input( sprintf('What is the estimated mass of %s (kg)? ', name), 's');
