At a nonzero rational in lowest terms, irrational points approach with function value zero, whereas , so is discontinuous. At zero, for nonzero , hence and continuity follows.
At an irrational , given , only finitely many rationals in a bounded neighbourhood have reduced denominator . Choose a neighbourhood avoiding those points; throughout it, . Consequently the continuity set is . This is a variant of the Thomae function.
