real analysis - Can the function defined in this way be everywhere discontinuous?

Suppose that we have some real function of a real variable f defined on the set [a,b] which has the properties that:



1) f takes values in the set on which it is defined



2) for every y[a,b] there exists one and only one x[a,b] such that f(x)=y.



The question is:





Can such function be everywhere discontinuous?




The question can be asked also in this form:




Does there exist everywhere discontinuous bijection defined on the set [a,b] which also takes values in the set [a,b].





I guess that the answer is yes but at the moment I am not smart enough to prove the existence or to construct such an example.



Thank you for your response and co-operation.
