How to assign the size of an array stored in a variable to the "end value of another array stored in a different variable" ?

For example,

b=[1:5];

I want to assign the size of 'b' which is 5 in this case to another variable 'a' using the linspace function,

Example:

b=[1:5];
a=linspace(1,1,size(b))

Basically I want to plot these two arrays together. Since a is scalar, the plot doesn't work. But if a=[1,1,1,1,1], then everything works fine. My program has changing values of 'b' throughout the code and I would like to instruct MATLAB find the size of 'b' and assign it to 'a'

Please let me know if there is a way to do it,

length(b) or size(b,2)

How simple was that? Just couldn't get the function in mind. Thanks a ton !
