why am i getting NaN from my function

i was asked to write a function that gets b&w image and returns its entropy. im not allowed to use im_hist or entrtopy (obviously).
this is the function i wrote:
function [Entropy] = EntropyCalc(image)
image_hist = histogram(image);
values = image_hist.Values;
[size_x, size_y] = size(image);
total = size_x * size_y;
p = values./total;
Entropy = - sum(p.*log2(p));
end
but i keep getting NaN.
any ideas??
thanks!

As David said your log2(p) is not safe, you can solve this problem by using this line of code:
Entropy = - sum(p.*log2(p+eps));

thank you! that solved that. now i need to find out why the answer is different than the built in entropy function.
thanks!
The difference is in the histogram function, you need to explicitely define the number of bins to 256 (make sure image is uint8) so it has the same result.
image_hist = histogram(image,256);
Or faster:
values = imhist(image(:));
that was the thing... didnt know this option. (cant ust imhist in this hw). thanks again! helped me a lot!
