how to generate 2^16 different combinations of a vector containing 0 and 1 only?

Hello all,

I would like to generate 2^16 different combinations of 16 bits containing 0s and 1s. I have tried different ways like using nchoosek,... but I have the out of memory error. Could somebody please propose a more efficient way? Thank you!

Please explain the problem you are working and why you think you need this matrix in memory all at once.

As a character array:

dec2bin(0:2^15-1)

As a numeric matrix of 1s and 0s:

dec2bin(0:2^15-1) - '0'
