$MaxPiecewiseCases

$MaxPiecewiseCases
gives the maximum number of cases to allow in explicit Piecewise objects generated by expanding any single piecewise function.
EXAMPLESCLOSE ALL
Basic Examples   (1)
Floor is not converted to Piecewise because the number of piecewise cases exceeds 100:
This increases the limit on the number of cases to 200:
This reverts $MaxPiecewiseCases to the default setting:
