What is digital vs analog? what is an example of each?

Viewed from afar, the wave function below may seem smooth and analog, but when you look closely there are tiny discrete steps as the signal tries to approximate values: That's the big difference between analog and digital waves. Analog waves are smooth and continuous, digital waves are stepping, square, and discrete. There you go! Have fun!
