This is my code is running and making histogram as well, but not at the right place.
A=input('How many tossing would you like to do? ')
x= rand(A,1);
if(x<0.5),
toss = -1; %Head
else
toss = 1; %Tail
end
hist(x,-2:2)

Asyou can se one bar is at 0 and the other is at 1. I would like if Heads been shown at -1 and Tails at 1.
Thank you for any help.

The problem is that you are not storing the answers/toss.
A=input('How many tossing would you like to do? ')
x= rand(A,1);
toss = nan(A,1);
for i=1:length(x)
if x(i)<0.5
toss(i) = -1; %Head
elseif x(i)>=0.5
toss(i) = 1; %Tail
else
disp('Error...')
end
end
histogram(toss)
Edit: If you want it more neat
A=input('How many tossing would you like to do? ')
x= rand(A,1);
above = x < 0.5;
x(above)=-1;
x(~above)=1;
histogram(toss)

Or even more compact (though perhaps a little harder to understand):
numTosses = 100000
tosses = 2 * (rand(1, numTosses) < 0.5) - 1;
histogram(tosses)
