can you example a function that is continuous at every point but not derivable

Yes, I also think of the weierstrass function is a perfect example of that.

I was thinking the dirichlet function, but that's the one that's discontinuous everywhere.

f(x)= sin (\fraction\pi/x)
f(x) = |x|
The problem's ambiguity at x=0.

Any interval on a curve where the derivative would divide by zero. f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} would do this at x=0.

Edit* I'm sorry if you were looking for functions that are not differentiable on any interval but are continuous.
