Naming new directories sequentially

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to make new folders with a prefix and sequentially number them. I would like them to all contain the same sub directories:
Prefix_001
Subdirectory A
Subdirectory B
Prefix_002
Subdirectory A
Subdirectory B
Prefix_003
Subdirectory A
Subdirectory B

 Accepted Answer

N = number of directories
P = 'absolute/relative path to the parent directory';
for k = 1:N
D = sprintf('Prefix_%03d',k);
mkdir(fullfile(P,D))
mkdir(fullfile(P,D,'Subdirectory A'))
mkdir(fullfile(P,D,'Subdirectory B'))
end
