Using clc in my simple scipt prevents user input question being displayed

I wrote a simple script to ask for a user's age

age = input('What is your age?....')

This works as expected.

However, if I insert a clc in front of this in the code, it does not display the question to the user in the command window. I don't know what is happening here.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Nick

The behavior you describe happens for me only in MATLAB Online. You can include a short pause after clc to get the input prompt to show up, e.g.:

clc
pause(0.1)
age = input('What is your age?....')

I see this has already been reported internally.
