And what would you call it?

It IS a function, it was initially developed as a function using functional analysis/calculus of variations techniques. If you knew anything about math or QM you'd know this instead of sucking the dick of some second rate profs opinion on such an insignificant semantic.

I thought that Dirac delta is the derivative of the Heaviside step function. How is it not a function? Please explain to a dumb engineer.

Dirac delta has no width but has a non-zero integral

It's a discretely defined function and every good math and physics author calls it the dirac delta function.

OP is uneducated and from reddit. Hence his BBT tier understanding of STEM field relations.

If't a function, but not on the reals but instead of a function space.
A function with a function space as domain is called distribution (or rather you may narrow down this even more). Nevertheless, each distirbution remains a function.
