Weird function that changes digits

Calculus Level 5

Let g ( x ) g(x) be a function over the real numbers defined as follows. Each nonzero digit in the decimal expansion of x x will get changed to the digit that is 1 1 less, and each zero digit stays zero. For example, g ( 25.370142 ) = 14.260031 g(25.370142) = 14.260031 and g ( π ) = 2.0304815424... g(\pi) = 2.0304815424...

What is the size of the set of real numbers at which g g is not continuous?

Countably infinite All of R \mathbb{R} 0 Finite Uncountably infinite, but not all of R \mathbb{R}

Every real number a a has one only decimal representation a = n Z a n 1 0 n \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} a_{n} \cdot 10^{n} , 10 > a n 0 , a n N 10 > a_{n} \ge 0 , a_{n} \in \mathbb{N} \Rightarrow g : R R g:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is a strictly increasing function(and R \mathbb{R} is an interval) \Rightarrow the set of discontinutity points of g g is at most countable infinite. Furthemore, g is injective and g can't be continuous because then g 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 g \Rightarrow 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) \Rightarrow the points of discontinuity of g g is countably infinite

Note, the decimal representation, for instance, of 0,9999999.... is 1 (0,9999... only represents a limit)
