How to combine 2 matrices (or vectors) element by element in order (with different sizes)?

How can I combine 2 matrices A and B into one so that the new matrix C = element 1 of A, followed by element 1 of B, then element 2 of A, element 2 of B, etc? Note that vectors A and B are randomly generated and the size might be different.

For example, A = [x1 x2 x3 ...], B = [y1 y2 y3 ...] and then C=[x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3 ...]

Thank you.

A=1:3
B=4:6
C=[A;B]
C=C(:)'

%or

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

Thank you Azzi so much for your help and quick response. this (C=reshape([A;B],1,[])) works perfectly.

Thanks again, Khalid

Hi! I'm looking for a simmilar thing. How would this vork with more than two vectors arranged in a matrix? For example:

a = [1 2 3];
b = [4 5 6];
c = [7 8 9];
d = [10 11 12];

And it should result in:

res =

     1    4    2    5    3    6
     7   10    8   11    9   12

Which is:

res =

     a(1)    b(1)    a(2)    b(2)    a(3)    b(3)
     c(1)    d(1)    c(2)    d(2)    c(3)    d(3)
