Actually I am corelating two signals but my question is that in graph the correlation should be between -1 and 1 but it is not like that code:
t=linspace(0,1000,100001) %in ms xs=randn(1,100001)
grid on
subplot(3,1,1) plot(t,xs) title('SIGNAL RECEIVED AT MASTER')
shift_ms = 10; %SIGNAL RECEIVED AT RECEIVER 1(TIME DELAYING THE DISCRETE SIGNAL) x1=circshift(xs,shift_ms*.1); %signal received at receiver 1
% subplot(3,1,2) plot(t,x1) title('SIGNAL RECEIVED AT RECEIVER#1')
[c,lags]=xcorr(xs,x1);
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(lags,c)
title('CORRELATION OF RECEIVER 1 AND PROCESSING UNIT')
[maxval indx]=max(c) %[xMax,idx] = max(x) returns two outputs.first is max value of x and second is max index value maxval
shiftCalc_ms = (length(t)-indx)/10
t21 = finddelay(xs,x1)

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/666543-correlation-of-2-signals#answer_558383 thankyou sir for your kind help. but now the graph is between 10^5 and 10^-5

The correlation is the sum of the products of the overlapped elements, so there is no guarantee that that sum will be between 0 and 1. If you want it to be in that range, then you must call rescale():
scaledSignal = rescale(signal, 0, 1);
