[Maxima-discuss] Staircase function

[Daniel W. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to plot this function in Maxima: 2*y*(1-y) using the staircase
function so the full code I input is staircase(2*y*(1-y),1,11,[y,0,1]);
When I run the code in Maxima it plots the function 2*y*(1-y)but doesn't
show the next iteration of that function/ it doesn't display the cobweb
diagram similar to this code:
staircase(cos(y),1,11,[y,0,1]);

What am I doing wrong? Where can I find out more examples of how to use the
staircase function in Maxima?

Thanks,

Daniel
