Storing user input as a vector

I am asking a user for a positive number using a "while" loop. I want to store the numbers that the user gives me in a single row array and then perform several operations on the array of numbers. For example: input a number: 3 input a number: 4 input a number: 2 input a number: 2
I want an array of [3 4 2 2], but all I can get is [0 2 3 4]. I'm using
x = input ('input a number') number(x) = x
inside a while loop. Please help

x = zeros(1,100); %assuming no more than 100 values
cnt = 0;
while 1
cnt = cnt+1;
x(cnt) = input('d....');
if some_condition
break;
end
end
x = x(1:cnt);

Instead of stopping at 100, is there a way I can make the number of values stop when the user types "Stop" or "Done" or something similar to that?

You need a separate variable to indicate the array index you want to store the number in. In your example, the user enters '2' twice. Since you are using the input to specify the index, the second '2' overwrites the first '2'. I'd use end and do something like this.
x = [];
while 1
x(end+1) = input('Input a number: ');
if some_condition; break; end
end
You can also do it the following way,
limit=input('Enter limit=');
n=1;
while n<=limit
x(1,n)=input(' ');
n=n+1;
end;
disp(x)
