given a continuous function from $f:mathbb{Q}to mathbb{Q}$ [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Does every continuous map from $mathbb{Q}$ to $mathbb{Q}$ extends continuously as a map from $mathbb{R}$ to $mathbb{R}$?

Given a continuous function from $f:mathbb{Q}to mathbb{Q}$ there exists a continuous function $g:mathbb{R}to mathbb{R}$ such that g restricts to f on $mathbb{Q}$
I could think of one example which cannot be extended namely $f(x)=1 if x> sqrt{2} $ and $f(x)=0 if x< sqrt{2} .$
I am interested in knowing more examples. I am looking for different kind of examples other than mine. The reason why my example works because the left limit and right limit of $f$ at $sqrt{2}$ do not match. Are there different kinds of examples which exploit some other property of discontinuous functions or of totally different nature?
This gives only one example I am interested in knowing other examples and is there any clasification of such examples?

Your example is fine. More generaly, no continuous function from $mathbb{Q}$ into itself whose range is finite and it has more than one element can be extended to a continuous function from $mathbb{R}$ to itself.
On the other hand, every uniformly continuous function from $mathbb{Q}$ into itself can be extended to a continuous function from $mathbb{R}$ to itself.

$begingroup$
Could you please explain why every uniformly continuous function can be extended?
