How to merge first elements from 2 array into an new array?

Hi,

I want to merge 2 arrays so that the output is as follows:

A=[1 2 3]
B=[4 5 6]

I want C to be:

C=[1 4 2 5 3 6]

That pick up each successive numbers from each side and place them side by side in a new array? Any way of doing this using simple lines ..if possible no use of inbuilt functions..

 please find below my code:

A=[1 2 3]
B=[4 5 6]
out_weight=zeros(1,2*length(A))
k=1
for i=1:length(A)
out_weight(k)=A(i)
out_weight(k+1)=B(i)
k=k+2
end

Any shorter code i can use?

C=reshape([A;B],1,[])

Hi Azzi,

Thanks for your input Any other way of doing it without using inbuilt function?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

C=[A;B]
C=C(:)'

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Or

A=[1 2 3]
B=[4 5 6]
n=numel(A)
C(1:2:2*n)=A;
C(2:2:2*n)=B;

AB = [A;B];
out = AB(:)';
