Prove that every piecewise constant function f 0 1 R can be
     Prove that every piecewise constant function f : [0, 1]  R can be approximated arbitrarily well (in the sense of an L1 norm) by a continuous function. (A piecewise constant function is the same as a step map, as defined on page 249 in the book). Is the same statement true if approximation is understood in the L°0 sense? the L sense? ![Prove that every piecewise constant function f : [0, 1] R can be approximated arbitrarily well (in the sense of an L1 norm) by a continuous function.
