Replace while option == Y by
while strcmpi(option, 'y')
In your code Y is a function call, not the character, because the quotes are missing. Using strcmpi accepts lower and upper case characters and compares the string in total, not elementwise as teh == operator. See:
c = 'yy'
c == 'y' % This compares both characters and replies [true, true]
strcmp(c, 'y') % This is a scalar as wanted
