Please help me. I want generate random number 0 and 1 as given code with constraints. Now my given constraint is 1st column and 2nd column not equal.
a=randi([0 1],24,7)
a(:,1)=~a(:,2)
e.g
0 1
1 0
How I can give the constraints in first 3 columns such as any two column become 0 and only one column should be 1? e.g.
0 0 1
1 0 0
0 1 0

For each row, just pick a random column from the first k columns (where k is either 2 or 3, depending on your problem) to put a 1 in. Leave the other columns as 0. WTP?
If the other columns of your matrix have no constraints, then just generate them randomly.

Oh, come on. You already know how to use randi. Use it to generate a random number from 1 to 3. If you have no idea how to do this in one vectorized operation, then use a loop. If you have no clue how to use even a loop, so basic MATLAB, then you need to read the tutorials.
