how to set the limit of x axis and y axis as per the required range for the following code

code:

x=1:12

y=[11 3 9 6 6 8 8 10 9 8 10 11];

xlim([0,12]);

ylim([0,12]);

plot(x,y,'-k*')

when i run the code i am getting the graph but the x axis values and y axis values are not in the required range.Could anyone please help me on this.

hello

you have to put the plot command first otherwise the xlim and ylim have no object to work on

plot(x,y,'-k*')
xlim([0,12]);
ylim([0,12]);

There is a nuance here: xlim and ylim need an existing axes object and will not create one. That means you have to make sure an axes object exists, which you can do with plot, but also with many other functions. The order you proposed in your answer (which you posted as comment) makes the most sense, as plot will (under some conditions) modify the limits.
