y is a correspondence of x. X is compact.
Can somebody give me an example where y is compacted valued, but the graph(x,y) is not compact.

A graph will be highly appreciated.

I just edited my question. Assuming X is compact,...
The statement is true even though the domain is compact.
I can tell you are doing physics. I am doing economics, sin function will never cross my mind.

Let me see if I understand what you're asking correctly. You want a function f:X->Y whose domain and range are compact, but whose graph isn't? If this is the case, then (unless you look at non-Hausdorff spaces) you won't be very lucky finding one that is continuous, so try to find that isn't continuous. (Another hint: Try a step function.)
