Let be defined by
Where is the greatest integer less than or equal to .
Let denote the set containing all where is discontinuous, and denote the set containing all where is not differentiable. Then the sum of number of elements in and is equal to ____.

Answer: 5

Solution

For with an integer, and , which is for and for . So is the distance from to the nearest integer, rising from at an integer to at the next half-integer and falling back to .
At every integer of both one-sided limits are and itself is there, so is continuous throughout and is empty.
The slope changes from to at and from to at , and at no other point of , so .
Thus has elements and has , so the sum is .
