In mathematics, a [[function (mathematics)|function]] on the [[real number]]s is called a '''step function''' (or '''staircase function''') if it can be written as a [[finite set|finite]] [[linear combination]] of [[indicator function]]s of [[interval (mathematics)|interval]]s. Informally speaking, a step function is a [[piecewise]] [[constant function]] having only finitely many pieces.
