A question about the discontinuties and countable sets.

Let $f$ be an arbitary real function on $mathbb{R}$. Let $A$ denote the set of left continuous points of $f$, and $B$ the set of discontinuous points of $f$. Show that $Abackslash B$ is countable.
I know the jumps of $f$ are countable, but my question seems more hard (=o=)...

    if $f$ is contiunuous then $A=mathbb R$ and $B$ is empty so $Asetminus B=mathbb R$

  • maybe you want $Bcap A$. In this case you can find an anwer here math.stackexchange.com/questions/65941/…
