More specifically, use the representation of x in C Cantor set in base 3

with only 0's and 2's in the expansion of 3, and map

f: x=0.a1a2..... ---> 0.b1b2.......

Wheref(bi)= 0 , if ai=0 , f(bi)=1 , if ai=2 .

This f is continuous, but not absolutely continuous ( which

preserves sets of measure zero. )
