The discussion confirms that a function g(x) does not have to be continuous even if it is sandwiched between two continuous functions f(x) and h(x). The examples provided include f(x) = sin(x) - 3, h(x) = sin(x) + 3, and g(x) = sin(1/x), which demonstrates that g(x) is discontinuous at x = 0. Another example given is the signum function and a function that takes the value 1 for rational x and 2 for irrational x, both of which illustrate discontinuity despite the continuity of f and h.
