real analysis - Example f Riemann-integrable, g bounded and g=f almost everywhere.

I'm facing this problem,





Let g:[a,b]R be Riemann-integrable, f:[a,b]R a bounded function, (xn) a sequence of points in [a,b] such that f(x)=g(x) for all x in [a,b] other than the xn. Give an example to show that f need not be Riemann-integrable.




Before this, the book ("A First Course in Real Analysis by Sterling Berberian",Page 164) says that for f:[a,b]R and g:[a,b]R Riemann integrable, and f=g almost everywhere we can conclude that f is Riemann-integrable.



Checking the examples they give on non riemann integrability, I found f(x):[0,1]R, f(x)=1 for rationals and f(x)=0 for irrationals. From this I can build a function g:[0,1]R, that can be equal to f over the irrationals, and something different than f for rationals, However, how could I build a sequence such as the one they ask me to, but over the rationals?
