end
fprintf("\nOn the %s day of Christmas\nMy true love gave to me\n",...
strtrim(strStart(value,1:end)));
while(value ~= 0)
fprintf("%s\n" , strVerse(value,1:end));
value = value - 1;
end
I want to add an error message for when the input is not an integer and idk how. also how do i make it so the solution displays output at the center of the user screen?

This returns true when the value is an interger mod(value,1)==0
But you should also test that the value is numerica and a scalar.
isscalar(value) && isnumeric(value) && mod(value,1)~=0)
If you want to repeat the input prompt if the users does not enter an expected response, you can wrap the call to input within a while loop. That's demonstrated in this answer.

You'll have to use a dialog box such as the one Image Analyst suggested or
h=msgbox(__);
movegui(h,'center')
The last line moves the figure to the center of the screen.
