Problem Statement

Let f:[0,1][0,1] f:[0,1]\longrightarrow [0,1] a function with the property that, for all y[0,1] y\in [0,1] and ε>0, \varepsilon >0, there exists a x[0,1] x\in [0,1] such that f(x)y<ε. |f(x)-y|<\varepsilon .
a) Prove that if f[0,1] \left. f\right|_{[0,1]} is continuos, then f f is surjective. b) Give an example of a function with the given property, but which isn´t surjective.
