input the area code of your telephone number and store the input in a variable named “AreaCode”. The variable “AreaCode” is to be of type “Char”. Use the input() function once to put 3 newlines BEFORE the prompt “Enter your Area Code --> ”. The string “Your area code is ” is to be outputted with value of the variable “AreaCode” on the same line. A newline is outputted at the end.

Have a look at the second syntax for input() http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/input.html

You can use sprintf() to create a string that can be used as a prompt in input(). For example, to put 2 new lines (\n) followed by a string, you can do this:
userPrompt = sprintf('\n\nEnter some stuff:');
Adapt it to your homework and send it into input() or inputdlg(). Put a \n anywhere you want a new line in your string.
