Thomae's function (sometimes called the popcorn function, raindrop function, Stars over Babylon) is given by the formula $$f(x) =\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x= 0 \\ \tfrac1{q} & \text{if } x = \tfrac{p}{q}\\ 0 & \text{if } x \in \mathbb{R}-\mathbb{Q}. \end{cases}$$
Plot of the Thomae function.
Properties
Thomae function is continuous at irrationals
