If statement for input value

I want the user to give a number, depending on that number gives the user a number of questions to answer

ex

n = input('how many ingredients do you have');

%%FOOD INPUT

if n =1

a = input('Type code of Ingrediant #1: ');

A = input('Type quantity of Ingrediant #1: ');

end

if n =2

a = input('Type code of Ingrediant #1: ');

A = input('Type quantity of Ingrediant #1: ');

b= input('Type code of Ingrediant #2: ');

B= input('Type quantity of Ingrediant #2: ');

end

etc..

And what’s wrong with the above code?

I would just use a loop:

n = input('how many ingredients do you have');
%%FOOD INPUT
for k = 1:n
    a(k) = input(sprintf('Type code of Ingrediant #%d: ',k));
    A(k) = input(sprintf('Type quantity of Ingrediant #%d: ',k));
end

Then do whatever you want with the resulting vectors.
