Function with varying number of for loops

My input is a number (most likely between 1 and 5) and I need a code to create n number of for loops with my output in the last for loop. Each dimension would have length 14, so in total there would be 14^n values

Something like this

n=1
    for a=1:14
        Output(a)=1 or 0
    end
 n=2
    for a=1:14
        for b=1:14
            Output(a,b)=1 or 0
        end
    end

 It has to create each for loop and not just an empty array of dimensions n

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/333926-recursive-function-for-replacing-multiple-for-loops

Do not use a bunch of nested for loops, but an index vector and one loop:

n = 5;            % Number of loops
v = ones(1, n);   % Index vector
Output = zeros(repmat(14, n));

ready = false;
while ~ready
  index         = sub2ind(size(Output), v);
  Output(index) = 1 or 0  ???

    % Update the index vector:
    ready = true;       % Assume that the WHILE loop is ready
    for k = 1:n
      v(k) = v(k) + 1;
      if v(k) <= 14
        ready = false;
        break;          % v(k) increased successfully, leave "for k" loop
      end
      v(k) = 1;         % v(k) reached the limit, reset it
    end
  end
