calculus - What is the difference between a discrete function and a continuous function

Intuitively it seems that both concepts should be disjoint because if a function is discrete then it has some holes on it and if a function is continuous then it doesn't have holes. But now I'm not sure because, from my understanding, a function may be continuous at x0 if x0 is an accumulation point in its domain such that limxx0f=f(x0). So for example the function f:QR such that f(x)=x is such that limxx0f=x0=f(x0) and then f is continuous at any point in its domain but also it's discrete. What I'm a missing?

I have injection f:AB and I want to get bijection. Can I just resting codomain to f(A)? I know that every function i...
