I have x where the dimension is (100x1) and y (108x1)
I use:
new_x= [x,zeros(1,length(y)-length(x))];
but I got an error saying (Error using horzcat. Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent).

new_x= [x; zeros(length(y)-length(x), 1)];
% ^ ^ switch the arguments to zeros
% use a semicolon instead of a comma

This gracefully handles the case when length(x)=length(y), and requires no consideration of whether x,y are row or column vectors.
x(end+1:numel(y))=0;

% ^transpose the x vector
Transpose the x vector since it is column vector whereas zeros(1,length(y)-length(x)) is the row vector. Both of them being concatenated using [ ] operator

Alternately, you could transpose the row vector zeros(1,length(y)-length(x)) keeping the x vector same (without transpose)

If you're using release R2023b or later, you could use the paddata function. Let's create some sample data:
% I have x where the dimension is (100x1) and y (108x1)
x = (1:100).';
y = (101:208).';
What sizes are the two vectors?
szX = size(x);
szY = size(y);
What is the size of the larger? I used my knowledge that they had the same number of dimensions here.
M = max(szX, szY);
Now pad and look at the sizes of the results.
x2 = paddata(x, M);
y2 = paddata(y, M);
whos x x2 y y2
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes x 100x1 800 double x2 108x1 864 double y 108x1 864 double y2 108x1 864 double
Since y was already the correct size, paddata didn't change it.
isequal(y, y2)
ans = logical
1
Let's look at the last dozen rows of x and x2.
tail(x, 12)
89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
tail(x2, 12)
97 98 99 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
There are 8 copies of 0 at the end of x2 to make it the same size as y and y2.
