The statement «a constant function is a function whose values do not vary and thus are constant» is meaningless: the values of a function never vary, as values never do...Mariano (talk) 22:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think we should add a section at the beginning on the constant polynomial function. Lfahlberg (talk) 06:13, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have researched, reorganized, added citations and images as I suggested in August 2013 (and no one objected).

However, others are much better at layout and organization particularly with respect to continuity, math text and images. So it would be great if someone could help with this. Math text spacing on mobile devices is such a problem that I simply add spacing around any formulas. Perhaps someone knows how to do this properly. (I personally am so frustrated at the giant size of the math text and inconsistency between platforms and browsers in wikipedia that I often just stick to html, but I know others like the math text.)

A better real-world example would be good.

Missing are citations for the final section (which I just copied and pasted as I found it). Perhaps the person who wrote this section could add proper citations.

Also, at the end, I have added hidden text for sections which might be added particularly with respect to Fourier analysis and programming, but which are far outside of my competencies.

I agree that a better real-world example would be good; in the store where everything costs $1, it's not clear to me what the inputs are. A better example might be Jimmy Butler's $20 coffee shop, where he sells small, medium, and large coffees for $20 each. The cost is a constant function of the size. 97.126.42.158 (talk) 21:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
