Maximum variable size allowed by the program is exceeded.

i tried this A =reshape( (zeros(vsize*vsize*2)),[],2); but getting Error using zeros Maximum variable size allowed by the program is exceeded. but when i tried A= reshape( (blanks(vsize*vsize*2)),[],2); is fine here vsize is 256

blanks(vsize*vsize*2) creates a 1 x vsize*vsize*2 vector of characters.

zeros(vsize*vsize*2) creates a vsize*vsize*2 by vsize*vsize*2 array of double precision numbers. If you want a vector instead then you need to specify the "1", such as zeros(1,vsize*vsize*2)

you can check that blanks(n) takes less memory then zros(4) a=blanks(4) b=zeros(4) whos a whos b
