Signum

Function: signum (<x>) For numeric <x>, returns 0 if <x> is 0, otherwise returns -1 or +1 as <x> is less than or greater than 0, respectively.

f(x,y):= sin(x)^2+signum(cos(y));
plot3d(f(x,y), [x,-5,5], [y,-5,5]);

If <x> is not numeric then a simplified but equivalent form is returned. For example, signum(-x) gives -signum(x).
