Why is the colormap value of my bar plot returning an error

Hello, me and my peers are trying to create a program that would calculate for the percentage of students present in class per day, and plot that percentage on a bar graph. I used the following codes to determine each individual bar's color value based on the min and max y values.

P.S. CP == array of percentage attendnace per day example: [100 60 50] first day = 100% present, second day = 60% present, third day = 50% present

To test it, Enter incremental Day # for each run. Example Day #1 for the first run. Then Day #2 for the second

Then assign boolean values of 1 to all 10 students to signify that they are present

If 100% of the class is present on the 1st index and on the very last index, the program returns an error:

Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Error in attendancechecker (line 109)

set(h, 'FaceColor', map(ind,:)) ;

The program comes to an error if both min_y and max_y are equal.

Can anyone tell me how to overcome this? The full code is listed below.

% Initializing variables
Is115(:,:) = (["Calil" "Clyde" "Erickuh" "Mclane" "Julian" "Antoinne" "Aerielle" "Reece" "Sir Nohay" "Julian"])';
disp("Is the student present or not?")

%Assigning boolean values of attendance to the 7 days of a week
D = input("DAY #");
    for ii = 1:length(Is115)
            fprintf('%s ', Is115(ii,:));
            P(ii,:,D) = input("");
    end


% Computation for the percentage of students that are present in class.  
CP(D,:) = (sum(P(:,:,D))./length(Is115)) .* 100;
if CP >= 60
    fprintf("Congratulations! %.0f %% of the class is present\n", CP(length(CP),:));
elseif CP <60
    fprintf("Better luck next time! %.0f %% of the class is present\n", CP(length(CP),:));
end


% Plotting percentage
x = 1:length(CP);
y = round(CP(x,:));
if length(y) < 2
    % states color map
    map = colormap('pink');
    % extracts rows and columns to mmap and nmap
    [mmap,nmap] = size(map);
    % declares min and max y values
    data_min = 0;
    data_max = max(y);
    f = figure(1), hold on
    for k = 1:length(y)
          h=bar(x(k),y(k));
% now define col value based on data value (min data value maps to 
% colormap map index 1
% and max data value maps to colormap map last index);
          ind = fix(1+(mmap-1)*(y(k)-data_min)/(data_max-data_min));
          set(h, 'FaceColor', map(ind,:));
% Display the values as labels at the tips of the  bars. 
            xtips1 = h.XEndPoints;
            ytips1 = h.YEndPoints + 3;
            labels1 = string(h.YData);
            text(xtips1,ytips1,labels1,'HorizontalAlignment','center')
    end
    xlabel('X axis')
    ylabel('Y axis')
    hold off
    grid on
    CBAR_ticks = (0:20:100);
    clim([min(CBAR_ticks),max(CBAR_ticks)])
    hcb=colorbar('Ticks',CBAR_ticks,'TickLabels',split(num2str(CBAR_ticks)));
    hcb.Title.String = "Y range";
    hcb.Title.FontSize = 13;
else
    map = colormap('pink');
    [mmap,nmap] = size(map);
    data_min = min(y);
    data_max = max(y);
    f = figure(1), hold on
    for k = 1:length(y)
          h=bar(x(k),y(k));
          ind = fix(1+(mmap-1)*(y(k)-data_min)/(data_max-data_min));
          set(h, 'FaceColor', map(ind,:)) ;
        xtips1 = h.XEndPoints;
        ytips1 = h.YEndPoints + 3;
        labels1 = string(h.YData);
        text(xtips1,ytips1,labels1,'HorizontalAlignment','center')
end
    xlabel('X axis')
    ylabel('Y axis')
    hold off
    grid on
    CBAR_ticks = 10*(fix(min(y)/10):ceil(max(y)/10));
    clim([min(CBAR_ticks),max(CBAR_ticks)])
    hcb=colorbar('Ticks',CBAR_ticks,'TickLabels',split(num2str(CBAR_ticks)));

CP(D,:) = (sum(P(:,:,D))./length(Is115)) .* 100;

CP has not been initialized before that point.

D = input("DAY #");

D is user input, and could certainly be greater than 1. So when you assign to CP(D,:) you are creating CP (because it is not assigned before this) and all rows before the row indicated by D will be set to 0.

if CP >= 60

You are testing the entire matrix CP, resulting in (probably) a 2D matrix of logical values. When you if a vector or array, the result is considered to pass the test only under the condition that all values being tested are non-zero (false is 0) -- equivalent to |if all(CP(:) >= 60) . Which is going to be false if D > 1 because of all those rows of zeros that got inserted.
