A loop for scanning all binary sequences of length n with k 1's and n-k 0's

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to write a loop that scans all binary sequences of length n with k 1's and n-k 0's.
Actually, in each iteration an action is performed on the sequence, then it goes to next sequence, if necessary. (I'm not looking for the functions like nchoosek or perms that return all such a sequences).
How to write such a loop? Thanks

Because for large n's it takes so much time (if memory allows) to return all such strings. But producing one by one is practical since as soon as the criterion is satisfied the loop will broke. Also, in this way no surplus computations are performed, increasing efficiency of my approach. Thanks
