Are there any functions that are (always) continuous yet not differentiable? Or vice-versa?

Solution 1:

It's easy to find a function which is continuous but not differentiable at a single point, e.g. $f(x) = |x|$ is continuous but not differentiable at $0$.

Moreover, there are functions which are continuous but nowhere differentiable, such as the Weierstrass function.

On the other hand, continuity follows from differentiability, so there are no differentiable functions which aren't also continuous. If a function is differentiable at $x$, then the limit $(f(x+h)-f(x))/h$ must exist (and be finite) as $h$ tends to 0, which means $f(x+h)$ must tend to $f(x)$ as $h$ tends to 0, which means $f$ is continuous at $x$.

Solution 2:

Actually, in some sense, almost all of the continuous functions are nowhere differentiable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function#Density_of_nowhere-differentiable_functions
