Problem Statement

Let f,g:RRf,g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be functions which satisfy infx>af(x)=g(a) and supx<ag(x)=f(a),\inf_{x>a}f(x)=g(a)\text{ and }\sup_{x<a}g(x)=f(a),for all aR.a\in\mathbb{R}. Given that ff has Darboux's Property (intermediate value property), show that functions ff and gg are continuous and equal to each other.
