How to show the bin' percentage values' in a histogram?

Mukul Rao, I am really new in MATLAB and I would appreciate if direct me about this rodimentary question. I want to show the bin counts "percentage values" in histogram and my code is below but something is wrong and I can not find it!! Thank you n advance!

clc;
clear all;
close all;
%.................................................
data=xlsread('A');
dens=data(:,1);%gr/cm3
x=dens(1:1:end);
hist(x,24);
binranges = -0.06:0.08;
[bincounts] = histc(x,binranges);
percentagevalues = bincounts./sum(bincounts) * 100;
figure(2)
bar(binranges,bincounts,'histc')
for i = 1:length(bincounts)-1
    x = (binranges(i) + binranges(i+1))/2;
    y = bincounts(i)+1;
    text(x,y,num2str(bincounts(i),'%3.2f'),'HorizontalAlignment','center');
end

Could you please explain what it is about the result that is wrong?

What version of MATLAB are you using?

Cris LaPierre, Thank you!I am working with an old version 2013a but I hav run it in a 2020a as well and it does not show the figure 2 as well. The figure(2) should show final results.

Cris LaPierre It is not working in any version! and I can not fine the issue!

The issue is with how you defined your binranges. When you don't specify a step size, the colon operator uses 1.

binranges = -0.06:0.08

binranges = -0.0600

Since bin edges must contain at least 2 values, the result of histc is bincounts=0. Run your code with your desired stepsize and it will work.

binranges = -0.06:0.01:0.08

binranges = 1×15

-0.0600 -0.0500 -0.0400 -0.0300 -0.0200 -0.0100 0 0.0100 0.0200 0.0300 0.0400 0.0500 0.0600 0.0700 0.0800
