Target just the last added entries to a matrix

Hey, I am working with matrices and I wanted to know if there is a standard way/code to target just the last added entries to a matrix. I used the general syntax for appending data points to a matrix (A= [A;B]) and I wanted to know if there was an analogous general method for targetting the last added entries into a matrix. For example, I append 4 sets of coordinates to a matrix and now I want to call just those 4 sets from the matrix and use them for next step in my code. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is always another way, but your question is not particularly clear.
A(end-n:end, :)
will give you the last n+1 rows of the matrix.
Note that growing a matrix by appending rows in a loop is slow. If you know beforehand how many rows the final matrix is going to be, then preallocating the matrix is a lot more efficient.

Yeah I know that growing dynamically is slow (matlab kindly reminds me every time i run my code) but unfortunately I don't know how big the matrix will be beforehand. But Im not appending the sets of coordinates to the matrix during the loop but after it has been completed.
@Guillaime does your solution only work with a loop ??

As commented:

will give you the last n+1 rows of the (2D) matrix.

Why do you think that? There's no loop involved in that line. It's basic matrix indexing using the end keyword.

Have you read the documentation page I linked?
This is really basic indexing. As everything in matlab, the name of the variable is irrelevant. You can call them whatever you want or replace the variable by a hardcoded constant
A(end-n:end, 1) %returns the last n+1 rows of A
A(end-10:end, 1) %returns the last 11 rows of A
somename(end-someothername:end, 1) %returns the last someothername+1 rows of somename
