Create vector with predetermined number of certain elements

Hi everyone,
I have a problem where I have a set of numbers, eg; [3 5 9] and for each of these numbers an amount of occurences eg. [2 1 5]. Now i would like to create a vector containing these numbers the prespecified amount of times, so for the example the result would be [3 3 5 9 9 9 9 9 ]. Is there an elegant way to do this in MATLAB, that is, vectorized?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Use the repelem funciton:
V = [3 5 9];
N = [2 1 5];
Out = repelem(V, N)
Out =
3 3 5 9 9 9 9 9

Here's one straightforward, easy-to-understand way that's pretty fast.
numbers = [3 5 9];
occurrences = [2 1 5];
output = zeros(1, sum(occurrences));
index1 = 1;
for k = 1 : length(numbers)
index2 = index1 + occurrences(k) - 1;
output(index1:index2) = numbers(k)
index1 = index2 + 1;
end

Thanks for your answer. I need to create such a vector several times within the body of a loop, and therefore making a lot of them. Do you have any idea on how to vectorize this code? Thanks in advance
