Help plotting projectile motion

Question

Ok, I have no idea what's wrong. I am awful at Matlab T_T. Anyway, it is plotting in yellow and it is not a parabola as I would have expected. Sorry and thanks in advance for any help.

if yh0 == 0
tmax = (2*yv0) / g; %Calculates the time of flight t = 2*Yvelocity / g    
for t = 1:0.01:tmax %When t is less than the time of flight keep looping
y_v(L) = y_v(L-1) + ( -g.*t );    
y_s(L) = ( y_v(L-1).*t ) + ( 1/2*-g.*t.^2 );
%Horizontal
x_v =  xv0;         %Horizontal doesn't change (acc=0)
x_s(L) =  xv0.*t;   %Horizontal displacement
L=L+1;
end
elseif yh0 > 0
      tmax = (yv0 / g) + (sqrt(((yv0)^2) + 2*g*yh0))/ g;
for t = 0:1:tmax %When t is less than the time of flight keep looping
L=L+1;               %Adds a counter each time the loop runs
y_v(L) = y_v(L-1) + g.*t;    %Calculates the Y velocity v = u+at
y_s(L) = y_v(L-1).*t + 1/2*g.*t.^2; %Calculates the Y displacement s = ut + 1/2at^2
%Horizontal
x_v    =  xv0;                           %Horizontal doesn't change (acc=0)
x_s(L) =  xv0.*t;                        %Horizontal displacement
MaxH= (v0^2 * sind(theta)^2 )/ 2*g;
end
end
