Create a range of values ​​of the desired length

There is a range of values ​​from 16 to 42, I need to get 8 values ​​in an equal interval. Is there a function in matlab for this?

x=42-16;
y=x/8;
z=16:y:42;

Thanks in advance

iwant = linspace(16,42,8)

iwant = 1×8

16.0000 19.7143 23.4286 27.1429 30.8571 34.5714 38.2857 42.0000
