Give an example of a function $f: \Bbb R \to \Bbb R$ such that $f^{(4)}(x)=f’’’’(x)$ exists for all $x$ in $\Bbb R$ but is discontinuous at $x=0$. I tried it but I have no clue how to construct examples.

There exists a function $f: \Bbb R \mapsto \Bbb R$ such that $f^{(4)}(x)$ exists for all $x$ in $\Bbb R$ but is discontinuous at $x=0$

Hint
Let $$g(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{lc} x^2\sin(\frac{1}{x}) & \mbox{ if } x \neq 0 \\ 0& \mbox{ if } x=0 \end{array} \right. $$
Then $g$ is differentiable everywhere, but $g'$ is discontinuous at $x=0$.
