There is already a MATLAB function that "can accept multiple numbers and return the largest one"
x = [2,15,23.7,91.4,80.3] % vector with multiple numbers
xmax = max(x) % return the largest one

if you need to promt the user for the list then you can do something like this:
x = input('enter list of numbers, for example [1.1,2.3,38.7,5.3] ')

Most homework assignments (as this must surely be) preclude the use of builtin functions to solve the problem as the pegagical exercise for the student...and, it's not clear the intent of this exercise is to consider a vector of multiple values as "multiple inputs" or not -- my reading is "not", but it doesn't say so unequivocally, granted.
