How many numbers are in the range of the function \(f(x) = \frac{\lceil 5x - 5\lfloor x \rfloor \rceil}5\)?

Look  at the graph here :

Note the graph  is "periodic"  with a period  of  1

 

It appears that in each "period,"  there are 6 values in the range   (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8  and  1  )

 

Thanks to Daniel for spotting that  "0"  should be added to the range  !!!

Isn't there also 0? That would make the answer 6.

Thanks, Daniel....The graph doesn't  clearly show it, but 0  should also be added to  the range....I have amended my answer
