How would I write an m-file that asks a user to input a word and only returns a correct response if the word begins with "A","B","C".
x=input('Please input a single word surrounded by parentheses.')
case(first letter begins with A,B,C)
disp(Input word is correct.)
case(first letter does not begin with A,B,C)
disp(Input is incorrect. Please input a correct word.)
end
thanks!

Use the 's' option of input(). Subscript to get the first letter. switch() with case {'A', 'B', 'C'}
Question: what about 'a', 'b', 'c' ?
Watch out for the user pressing return without entering a word
