I am missing x-values on bar plot output also I am not satisfied with the way I coded the program? Any good hints? Thanks!
 xValues = [ 0, 0.3333, 0.5, 0.66667,1]; % specifies center of the bars
  yValues =  [14, 72, 24, 317, 438]; % specifies bar values
  width = 0.1;
  % Returns lengths of the input vectors
  lngxValues = length(xValues);
  lngyValues = length(yValues);
% Defining color for each bar
if lngxValues ~= lngyValues
    error('Vectors must be the same lengths.')
else
    Figure = figure('Name','Vertical Bar Plot'); % Creates a new figure
    BarColr = [0.6953 0.1328 0.1328; % Color: FireBrick
    0 0.5 0.5; % Color: Teal
    0.5430 0 0.5430;
    0.5430 0 0.5430;
    0.5430 0 0.5430]; % Color: DarkMagenta
    for i=1:lngxValues
        bar(xValues(i), yValues(i), width, 'FaceColor', BarColr(i,:),'EdgeColor', 'none')
        hold on;
    end
    hold off;
    % Adds the values on the top of the bar as text
    text(xValues',yValues',num2str(yValues','%i%'),... 
        'HorizontalAlignment','center',... 
        'VerticalAlignment','bottom',...
        'FontAngle','italic', 'FontWeight','bold')
end

        When you do bar(xValues(i), yValues(i)) you're only plotting one bar at a time. I suggest you put this after your loop and plot all the values at the same time:
bar(xValues, yValues);
