“Representation” of Mad Lib?

Way of using Matlab data types (e.g., numbers, vectors, cell arrays, etc.) to describe a Mad Lib
e.g., (inspired by fprintf ‘abcde %f xyvsd %s’)
- Mad Lib could be a string with markers for places where certain parts of speech have to be inserted: ‘Once upon a time there was a %n who was very %a ...’
Test for whether something is a “representation”: can I store this in a variable, save in file, pass to a function
Counter-example:

     s1 = input( 'Enter a noun', 's' )
     s2 = input( 'Enter a verb', 's' )
     fprintf( 'Once upon a time there was a %s who was..', s1, s2, … )
