Say I want to assign values to dimension variables x and y in single input prompt that goes like,
'Enter x and y'
We do it this way in C
scanf(%f,%f,&x,&y)

You can have input return a string and then parse that string with sscanf two yield a two-element array which we can then assign to x and y.
str = input('Please enter two numbers: ', 's');
nums = sscanf(str, '%f,%f');
x = nums(1);
y = nums(2);
Alternately, you could just prompt the user to enter the data in a specific format which will automatically create a cell array
nums = input('Enter two numbers in the form {num1, num2}');
[x, y] = nums{:};
