Description
Waits for the user to type a line of text into the text output window. When the user hits the enter or return key, the user's input is stored in to a variable. If the user types in a valid number, the variable will contain an integer or floating point number and not a string. The conversion to a number (or not) may be forced by specifying INPUT FLOAT, INPUT INTEGER, or INPUT STRING.
User may optionally be prompted for the input by prompt_expr.
References to array elements may also be specified.
