How to get x-values in bar?

I have some data which needs to be plotted in a bar plot.

My code is as follows:

x=[1:3,8];
y=[500	500	500	500
69	535	1354	42
97	498	1357	48
73	539	1328	60];

bar(x,y);

The output is as follows:

how to plot the graph so that there is no such space between 3 and 8 (as per the x-axis)?

Change the x values to categorical data type -

x=[1:3,8];
y=[500	500	500	500
    69	535	1354	42
    97	498	1357	48
    73	539	1328	60];

x=categorical(x);
bar(x,y);

Another workaround is to plot serially and then change the tick-labels

x=[1:3,8];
y=[500	500	500	500
69	535	1354	42
97	498	1357	48
73	539	1328	60];

bar(1:numel(x),y);
xticklabels(x)
