Code to assign correlation values from a correlation matrix to a column vector

I am trying to create a loop that repeats (iters) times which creates 2 random vectors (v1 and v2) using randn of size (sz) and finds the correlation between those two vectors, and I have to assign the correlation values to a column vector (cors) and plot the histogram of (cors).

My problem is i dont know how to assign correlation values to a column vector. Can anyone help?

You're almost there - use the loop variable, ii, to index into cors as follows:

sz = 1000;
iters = 10000;
cors = zeros(iters,1);

for ii = 1:iters
    v1 = randn(sz,1);
    v2 = randn(sz,1);

    x = corrcoef([v1,v2]);

    cors(ii,1) = x(1,2); % <- here
end

histogram(cors,120)
