How to make pairs of 1s and 0s in an array?

close all
clear
clc

m = 5 %amount of 1s
k = 13 %length of array
n = k-m %amount of 0s

rhythm_0 = [repelem(0,n)]
rhythm_1 = [repelem(1,m)]

So now I got 2 arrays, how do I combine them into one array so there are pairs of 01s like with the code above so the array looks like this:

0101010101000

How does this differ from https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1625675-how-to-generate-a-rhythm-that-is-based-on-an-algorithm-in-matlab?s_tid=prof_contriblnk ?

The difference however is that I managed to write a little bit of the scrip myself, but I didn't really know how to go further from here.

close all

clc

m = 5 %amount of 1s

m = 5

k = 13 %length of array

k = 13

n = k-m %amount of 0s

n = 8

% rhythm_0 = [repelem(0,n)]
% rhythm_1 = [repelem(1,m)]

if m > n
    extra_0 = [];
    extra_1 = ones(1,m-n);
    p = n;
else
    extra_0 = zeros(1,n-m);
    extra_1 = [];
    p = m;
end

rhythm = [reshape([zeros(1,p); ones(1,p)],1,[]) extra_0 extra_1]

rhythm = 1×13

0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0

Thank you so much, you helped me a lot!
