Strange outputs when using disp or fprintf

I currently have a code with which you input 2 numbers (x and y) and two outputs should come up (th and r). I'm having some trouble getting matlab to actually display those two outputs in the command window. Although the correct values for those outputs are listed in the workspace, my code doesn't seem to be able to reproduce those two outputs. Here is the code:
prompt = 'Enter x value';
x = input(prompt)
prompt = 'Enter y value';
y = input(prompt)
r = sqrt(x.^2 + y.^2);
if x>0;
t = atan(y/x);
elseif x<0, y>0;
t = atan(y/x)+pi;
elseif x<0, y<0;
t = atan(y/x)-pi;
elseif x<0, y==0;
t = pi;
elseif x==0, y>0;
t = pi/2;
elseif x==0, y<0;
t = -pi/2;
elseif x==0, y==0;
t = 0;
end
th = rad2deg(t);
fprintf('r = %s', r);
fprintf('theta = %s degrees', th);
The "r" output value displayed in the command window, for some reason, gives me a box symbol. The "th" output value displayed in the command window gives me a "Z". I'm not sure how it is displaying these outputs, as the correct ones are in the workspace. Maybe the part of the code that is meant to print them in the command box is faulty?
Thank you.

In addition to what Walter said, this line of code won't do what you want.
elseif x<0, y>0;
To combine multiple conditions in an if statement you need to combine them with and or or.

Don't use %s for numeric values. %s is for strings. Use %f or %e or %g for numeric values.

@Alexander Babayi: you don't need to guess how MATLAB works (e.g. what fprintf format string to use), you could try reading the documentation:
