Fill in a matrix

I want to create a row matrix of 16 elements and fill in the first 8 elements (as well as the last 8 elements) of it, with integers from 1 to 8.

 i.e. result = ( 2 5 2 8 4 1 4 7  3 5 3 7 8 4 6 6 )

Any help could be useful. thanks in advance!

You can just ask to create a matrix with 16 elements taken randomly from 1 to 8

This seems to do what you want:

result = randi([1 8], 1, 16)

producing:

result =

       4     1     3     3     3     2     3     1     8     1     8     4     1     3     6     7

Just a fine point, this gives doubles that have integer values. If you really want an integer data type, cast to an integer data type such as int32:

result = int32(randi([1 8], 1, 16))
whos result  % Prove that it's an integer.

randi(8,1,16)
