It means that the function value doesn't make sudden jumps. For example, a function that rounds a number down to the closest integer is discontinuous for all integer values; for instance, when x changes from 0.99 to 1, or from 0.999999 to 1, or for any number arbitrarily close to 1 (but less than one) to one, the function value suddenly changes from 0 to 1. At other points, the function is continuous.
