MATLAB: Adding elements to an array

arrays vectors loops for while adding

say I have an array
x=[0,0,2,3,4]
and a code
for n=1
if (10^n)*p<q
n=n+1;
elseif (10^n)*p>q
break
end
end
is there a way to add an extra 0 to the start of x if my n value goes up. for example. If n is one x=[0,0,2,3,4] and if n is 2 x=[0,0,0,2,3,4] and if n=3 x=[0,0,0,0,2,3,4] and so on. Thanks for the help.

new_x = [zeros(1,n-1),x]
