Thanks. the approxfun command works great --matches exactly with computing each
point-to-point slope

y<- c(0.4, 0.0, 0.2, -0.2, -0.6, 0.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.4, 0.4, 0.2)
which, in the usual way constitute a continuous piecewise function.
What I want to do is find an easy method to get at f(x) for some x I have
NOT specified in the above vector. For example I want f(356).
I have already put the time and effort in to write a program to compute this
by breaking the function into the various pieces and computing the slopes
of
the individual lines etc. etc.
I am just looking to find an easier method.
Thank you for your help.
