How would I give a simple example of a function $f$ differentiable in a deleted neighborhood of $x_0$ such that $lim_{xto x_0}f^prime(x)$ does not exist? I cannot seem to think of an example.
A delete neighborhood is an open interval about $x_0$ which does not contain $x_0$. So, $(x_0-delta,x_0+delta)-{x_0}$ for some $delta>0$.
How would something be differentiable in a deleted neighborhood if at the point of the derivative, the limit does not exist. Presumably, the derivative ends up looking something like $lim_{xto x_0} dfrac{1}{x}$, if it does not exist.

Must be your function continuous?

@Dog_69 No, it can be any function we can dream up

I was thinking about the Heaviside's function but I will say the absolute value $|x|$ around $x=0$.

Take $f(x) = x sin (1/x)$ near $0$

You may try $f(x)=x^2cos(1/x)$, so that $f'(x)=2xcos(1/x)-sin(1/x)$ has a point of discontinuity at $x=0$.

This is a slightly better example than mine, in fact, because $f$ is differentiable at zero as well.

Does $f(x)=x^frac 12 $ count?
$f'(x)=frac 1{2x^frac 12}$ which is discontinuous at $x=0$

Yes, it does! But see my remark on $x^2 cos 1/x$

$$ln'(x) = dfrac{1}{x}$$
If you are looking for that exact derivative.
