Plot distribution for winning bets of flips for a fair coin

Could someone please help me finish my MatLab script for the following specifications of this scenario:
Specs: - 2 players flip a fair coin - Bet sizes are equal
I'm trying to plot the distribution of the length of winning streaks for the game with numeric MatLab. Below is what I have so far:
% Arbitrary Scenario: % Total of 10 coin tosses % Player 1 (P1) bets on heads for each toss; Player 2 (P2) bets on tails % for each toss
n = 10; % Coin is tossed 10 times t=rand(1,n)<0.5; x=sum(t); % Count the number of heads (Amt of P1 wins) y=n-x; % Count the number of tails (Amt of P2 wins)
Now all I want to do is plot the distribution for x and y. Did I approach my problem correctly or did I miss anything? How would you guys go about plotting this distribution of length of winning streaks?
Many thx in advance! - T
