This is Exercise 6, Page 26, of Knopp's Problem Book in the Theory of Functions, Volume 2: For any sequence of complex numbers $z_n$ with no finite limit point, and for any sequence of complex numbers $w_n$, there is an entire function mapping $z_n$ to $w_n$. The proof goes like this: Use the WeierstraussWeierstrass Factor Theorem to construct a function $W$ with simple zeros at the $z_n$. Use the Mittag-Leffler theorem to construct a function $M$ with simple poles at the $z_n$ with residues $\frac{w_n}{W'(z_n)}$. Then the function $W\cdot M$ does the job.
