DiscretePlot

DiscretePlot[expr, {n, n_max}]
generates a plot of the values of expr when n runs from 1 to n_max.

DiscretePlot[expr, {n, n_min, n_max}]
generates a plot of the values of expr when n runs from n_min to n_max.

DiscretePlot[expr, {n, n_min, n_max, dn}]
uses steps dn.

DiscretePlot[{expr₁, expr₂, ...}, {n, n_min, n_max}]
plots the values of all the expr_i.

DiscretePlot has attribute HoldAll, and evaluates expr only after assigning specific numerical values to n.

In some cases it may be more efficient to use Evaluate to evaluate n symbolically before specific numerical values are assigned to n.

DiscretePlot has the same options as ListPlot, with the following additions and changes:

Filling	Axis	how to fill
EvaluationMonitor	None	expression to evaluate at every function evaluation
Joined	Automatic	whether to join points
MaxPlotPoints	Automatic	the maximal number of sample points to use
Exclusions	Automatic	points in n to exclude
