Asking ChatGPT about cases from “Counterexamples in Analysis”

karpierz · on March 17, 2023

In case someone wants an example of a function which is continuous nowhere, but whose absolute value is continuous everywhere:

f(x) = 1 if x is rational

f(x) = -1 if x is not rational

Edit: in all this excitement, I should've just read to the end of the article

Edit: for the second question, take the function:

f(x) = 0 if: the binary representation of it contains infinite 1s

f(x) = total # 1s in the binary representation of x if: the binary representation has a finite number of 1s
