How do I create a vector from two user-input variables?

The problem is telling me to do this:

Determine the total profit for the number of years requested by the user.

The total profit vector should be calculated for the number of years requested, where each column is a year.

So say, the Profit is 1,000,000 for 5 Years, how would I put Profit and Years in a vector?

I tried (Profit:Years), but I guess you aren't able to do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

"for the number of years requested by the user."

you mean, you want the user to enter the number of years using input ?

If yes,

prompt = 'Enter number of years? ';
x = input(prompt);
y = x*200000;
fprintf('The profit is %d.\n', y);
