How to add the year to the stairs plot

I have temperature data sets starting from 1968 to 2019 and in some stations the starting year change such as 1988, 1973 etc. I want to plot the data with the years in x axis.

title('Distribution of temperature')

xlabel('Years') % x-axis label

ylabel('temperature') % y-axis label

xlim([1 52]); -----> in here I want to insert the time duration (1968 to 2019 or 1988 to 2019 or 1973 to 2019)

ylim([0 80]);

How can i do it?

Use a datetime for your time variable and you'll get time plots automagically along the x axis and can set xlim() values with dates as desired.
