How to fix the range of a variable?

problem.CostFunction = @(x) MinPe(x, Biv, Cell);

I have this Matlab fucntion where x is a variable. The value of x is an array of 24 digits which only consist 0's and 1's. x is automatically selecting this input.

I want expand the range of x i.e. the array should not only consists 0's and 1's but within the range of 0 to 3.

for example, in case of 5 digits:

x is taking a value like [0 1 0 1 1]

but x should take a value like [0 3 2 1 3]

Could you please tell me the process to do it?

is this a question of counting system, so you want to e.g. convert the binary number system (000, 001, 010, 011, ...) to the system which can count up to three (000, 001, 002, 003, 010, 011, ...)?

Not clear what the question is, but if you just want to randomly sectect 24 digits from 0-3, then:

x=randi(4,1,24)-1;
