Label each data point and color code the data points

Hello,
I have an XY scatter plot of 49 points, and I want to label each point according to a text. There are three classes of text (A, B and C) , and I would like to add the class to each point, and color code them for A, B and C. for example, for the first five datapoints:
X=[1 2 3 4 5]; Y= [2 4 6 8 10], and the labels would be [A A C B C]. I'd like to plot XY, with the datapoints colour coded acording to A, B and C., with a legend.
I looked up the documentation, and this is all I could find on multipoint text:
Text for Multiple Data Points
To display the same text at each location, specify txt as a character vector or string. For example, text([0 1],[0 1],'my text').
To display different text at each location, use a cell array. For example, text([0 1],[0 1],{'first','second'}).
For multiline text, use nested cell arrays. For example, text([0 1],[0 1],{{'first','new line'},'second'})
However, it wasn't quite clear to me how to apply this to my data. Could you help me with this please?
Thank you!

You can use the following function to colour code groups (class) in scatter plot
To label each point use the text command,
