How do I create a 2 column matrix from my x and y data

I want to make a 2 column matrix for my x and y data which consists of 1000 datapoints, I have tried this and it replaces only one column:

x=[0 1 2 3 4 5];

y=[0 1 2 3 4 5];

A = zeros(1000,2);

A(:,2)=y;

A(:,1)=x;

Your data as you posted them are row vectors. Create column vectors from them to create ‘A’ by either doing a simple transpose (use the .' operator, not '), or forcing them to be column vectors with the ‘(:)’ notation

Try this:

A = [x(:), y(:)]

That should work.

Yes that works just wasnt sure about the notation, thanks for the help

Hello Star How can I apply your code in a loop for multiple parameters?

My 'X' vector is my time variable and does not change.

However the 'Y' vectors are my changing variables.

Ex: X= time

Y(1)=a

Y(2)=b

Y(3)=c

.......Y(n)=m

Please let me know. Thank you
