Best answer

The given function is defined at all points of the real line. Let c be a point on the real line.
Case I:

Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < 0

 Case II:

Therefore, f is continuous at x = 0
Case III:

Therefore, f is continuous at all points of the interval (0, 1).

 Case IV:

It is observed that the left and right hand limits of f at x = 1 do not coincide. 

Therefore, f is not continuous at x = 1 

Case V:

Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 1 

Hence, f is not continuous only at x = 1
