Modify the input dialogue at every "for loop"?

Hello all. I am trying to make a program in which for every for loop I want to modify the input dialogue statement for example,

for i = 1:input1
    for j =1:input1
    input2=input('enter value of :' a[i,j]  )
    a(i,j)=input2;
end
end

Now here the string "enter the value of a(i,j)" so how should I write that statement so that I would get "enter the value a11" and for the next loop "enter the value a12" and so on?

Please reply ASAP!

Use sprintf() to make up the string:

promptString = sprintf('Please enter the value of a(%d, %d) : ', i, j);
input2 = input(promptString) % User should enter a single number now.
a(i, j) = input2;
