This example provides an interactive visualization of a step function, highlighting its characteristic discontinuous behavior. The demonstration focuses on core mathematical concepts such as piecewise functions, limits, and jump discontinuities. The construction utilizes GeoGebra objects including parameters (a, t, m, n, b, c) to control the intervals and constant values of the segments, culminating in the definition of the function f. This tool is ideal for high school students or undergraduate calculus learners to explore the properties of piecewise constant functions and the concept of discontinuity.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
