# MATLAB: Error using ==> zeros Maximum variable size allowed by the program is exceeded.

errormemoryout of memory

I keep getting the error below, the program which creates a (1 x 21) matrix. I have 8 Gb of memory on my pc surely this small matrix doesn't take up this much memory?

• B = zeros(m,n,p,...) or B = zeros([m n p ...]) returns an m-by-n-by-p-by-... array of zeros.
zeros(1:n)
zeros([1,2,3,4,...n])
