Print @var{prompt} and wait for user input.

and waits for the user to enter a value.  The string entered by the user
is evaluated as an expression, so it may be a literal constant, a variable
name, or any other valid Octave code.

The number of return arguments, their size, and their class depend on the
expression entered.

If you are only interested in getting a literal string value, you can call
@code{input} with the character string @qcode{"s"} as the second argument.
This tells Octave to return the string entered by the user directly, without
evaluating it first.

Because there may be output waiting to be displayed by the pager, it is a
good idea to always call @code{fflush (stdout)} before calling @code{input}.
 This will ensure that all pending output is written to the screen before
your prompt.

Query or set the primary prompt string.

When executing interactively, Octave displays the primary prompt when it is
ready to read a command.

The default value of the primary prompt string is @qcode{'octave:\#> '}.
To change it, use a command like

@example
PS1 ("\\u@@\\H> ")
@end example

@noindent
which will result in the prompt @samp{boris@@kremvax> } for the user
@samp{boris} logged in on the host @samp{kremvax.kgb.su}.  Note that two
backslashes are required to enter a backslash into a double-quoted
character string.  @xref{Strings}.

You can also use ANSI escape sequences if your terminal supports them.
This can be useful for coloring the prompt.  For example,

@example
PS1 ('\[\033[01;31m\]\s:\#> \[\033[0m\]')
@end example

@noindent
will give the default Octave prompt a red coloring.

When called from inside a function with the @qcode{"local"} option, the
variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.
The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
