Hint: Use input() and fprintf():
userResponse = input(...........................
fprintf('Hello %s in ......................\n', variable1, variable2);
See if you can finish it.

This is not homework. It's an old test that I could not do and I'm just atempting it because I should have know how to do it but could not figure it out. No, I can not finish it, because I do not know what I'm doing. I have been at this for multiple hours. I have zero experience with code and matlab and do not know even what %s means.

Maybe this is what you want-
name = input('Enter your name: ','s');
age = input('Enter your age: ');
fprintf('Hello %s in 5 years you will be %d\n',name,age+5)
