Common Mistakes

Not using quotes around the label text.

Passing a variable name instead of a string.

The xlabel function needs the label as a string, so it must be in quotes.

Common Mistakes

Using square brackets instead of curly braces.

Passing a single string with commas instead of a cell array.

The legend function expects a cell array of strings, which in MATLAB is created with curly braces {}.
