[R] How to get correct integration in C for step function?

[Lynette]

Well,

I have no idea either. I can get correct answers for continous functions but 
incorrect for step functions.

Sign, I have been trying to realize the integration in C for long time.

Thank you for your answering.

Best,
Lynette
