Problem

The graph of \[f(x) = |\lfloor x \rfloor| - |\lfloor 1 - x \rfloor|\] is symmetric about which of the following? (Here $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$.)

$\textbf{(A) }$ the $y$-axis $\qquad \textbf{(B) }$ the line $x = 1$ $\qquad \textbf{(C) }$ the origin $\qquad \textbf{(D) }$ the point $\left(\dfrac12, 0\right)$ $\qquad \textbf{(E) }$ the point $(1,0)$

Solution
