Find adjacent values of a vector corresponding to another vector

Hi, I am trying to find the adjacent points of a 1-D vector corresponding to the elements of another column vector. It is very hard to explain. I will explain it from an example.
A=[ 11; 22; 32; 44; 51;]; B=[11.4 32.4 36.6]; So I need a matrix with the adjacent points of each element of the vector B of vector A as in, Ans1=[11 22; 32 44; 32 44;] also the corresponding locations as in, ans2[1 2; 3 4; 3 4;] Appreciate any help.

Here is a solution that finds the element in A that is just before or just after each element in B.
A=[ 11; 22; 32; 44; 51;]; B=[11.4 32.4 36.6]
clear ans2
ans2(:,1) = nearestpoint(B, A, 'before') ;
ans2(:,2) = nearestpoint(B, A, 'after') ;
ans1 = A(ans2) % will fail when elements of B do not fall between elements of A. Check for that!
