Attempting to completely fill out an array(6,7) with 1's and 2's for connect4

clc,clf
col = 1;
row = 1;
board = zeros(6,7); %Creates a board of zeros
maxturns = 0;
while maxturns <= 42
maxturns = maxturns + 1; %increments maxturns by 1 each time pcOne puts a 1 on the board
pcOne = randi(7); % pcOne generates a number 1-7
col = pcOne; %pcOne sends the number to col to place 1 in the correct column
while (board(row,col)~=0)%loops the input of row and col to ensure it isnt replacing a number that is already in place
pcOne = randi(7);
col = randi(7);
end
row = 6; %starts the row at the bottom of the array
played = 0;
while (played == 0)
if board(row,col) == 0
board(row,col) = 1; % if board space = 0 then it is replaced with a 1
played = 1; %when the loop is true played will equal 1 and exit the loop
end
row = row - 1; %will reduce the row to 5 if 6 is full in the respected column
end
maxturns = maxturns + 1; %adds to the max turns
pcTwo = randi(7);
col = pcTwo;
while (board(row,col)~=0)%iniates when a board has a number in the row,col spot
pcTwo = randi(7); %generates a column value for the array
col = pcTwo;
end
row = 6;
played = 0;
while (played == 0)%ends after the board finds a 0
if board(row,col) == 0
board(row,col) = 2;%replaces a 0 in the array with a 2
played = 1;
end
row = row - 1;%if bottom row in the selected column it will move up a row
end
disp(board); %should display a board full of 1' and 2's
end% loop ends after 42 moves are made
RESULTS:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 2 0 0 0
2 1 0 2 0 0 0
2 2 0 1 1 2 1
1 2 1 1 2 1 2
2 1 2 1 1 2 1
Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Maybe you could explain what your code is supposed to be doing. Commenting the code would be great. But if you just want a board with all 1's, then
board = ones(6,7);

If you want an array of ones (6x7)
ones(6,7);
Otherwise, I don't understand your question.
