The function which is equal to one at the rational points and to zero at the irrational points. It is also defined by the formula:
$$f(x)=\lim_{m\to\infty}\lim_{n\to\infty}(\cos m!\pi x)^{2n},$$
and belongs to the second Baire class (cf. Baire classes). It is not Riemann integrable on any segment but, since it is equal to zero almost-everywhere, it is Lebesgue integrable.
