    hello.
    i wrote this code in matlab

    t=[0:0.2e-3:3e-3];
    f=2*pi;
    v=sin(f*t*1000);
    plot(t,v)

    and my sine plot is looking like this

    why dosent it look like a normal sine wave

    How many samples are you generating each cycle?

    Good.

    A good rule of thumb is that you need at least about ten samples per cycle for it to look halfway decent for humans -- more is better. But, from a sampling theorem and information theory standpoint you can get by with less.
