It is proved, in particular, that a topological space X is a Baire space if and only if every real valued function f: X →R is almost continuous on a dense subset of X. In fact, in the above characterization of a Baire space, the range space R of real numbers may be generalized to any second countable, Hausdorfï space that contains infinitely many points.
