Question: Is the identity function $f:R\rightarrow R$ always continuous?
Answer: Yes.
Why: For a given $\epsilon$ choose $\delta = \epsilon$.
If $f:X\rightarrow X$ is the identity function between two identical topological spaces, for any neighborhood $V$ of $f(a)$, we have $$f(V)=V\subset V.$$ $\blacksquare$
