Added the requirement that at each point, the function must equal the left- or right-limit.

Is a function piecewise continuous if it has a left-limit and a right-limit at every point in its interval domain and equals at least one of these?

Suppose a real-valued function f, whose domain is an interval, has the property that at every point in its domain it has a left-limit and a right-limit, and it equals at every point in the domainleast one of these. Are the following Is it true? that

1: f has at most a countable number of discontinuities.

2: f is continuous between discontinuities (Young's theorem would appear to say "yes".)

  1. f is piecewise continuous, with potentially a countable infinity of pieces
  1. f can be called piecewise continuous. (Some say "piecewise continuity" requires a finite number of discontinuities.)
