Matrix dimension problem when asking 'What is your name?'

Here is my matlab code. It only works when the input name is 4 characters long otherwise it gives me matrix dimension error. How to make this work for names of all length
prompt = 'What is your name?'
N = input(prompt,'s');
if N=='Jack'
disp('Jack is great!');
else
disp('Hello');
end

Use isequal instead of ==
prompt = 'What is your name?'
N = input(prompt,'s');
if isequal(N,'Jack')
disp('Jack is great!');
else
disp('Hello');
end
Use isequal
prompt = 'What is your name?'
N = input(prompt,'s');
if isequal(N,'Jack')
disp('Jack is great!');
else
disp('Hello');
end
