Let be a function over the real numbers defined as follows. Each nonzero digit in the decimal expansion of will get changed to the digit that is less, and each zero digit stays zero. For example, and

Every real number a has one only decimal representation a = ∑ n ∈ Z a n ⋅ 1 0 n , 1 0 > a n ≥ 0 , a n ∈ N ⇒ g : R → R is a strictly increasing function(and R is an interval) ⇒ the set of discontinutity points of g is at most countable infinite. Furthemore, g is injective and g can't be continuous because then g will be a bijective function and superjective function with its image(range) which would be an interval (appplying value mean Bolzano Theorem or the gontinuous image of a conected(conex) set is a conected set)but, there exists x and y such that g(x) < 4.9 < g(y) and 4.9 doesn't belong to the range of g ⇒ there must exists z such that x < z < y where g is discontinuous at z(4.9 isn' t the image for g at any point) (so 4.9, 5.29, 6.39.. don't belong to the range(image) of g) ⇒ the points of discontinuity of g is countably infinite
