\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f (x) , \: \: where \: \: f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{|x|}{x} & x \neq 0 \\ 0 & x = 0 \end{matrix}\right.

The right-hand Limit or  Limit at x=0^+

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f (x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{|x|}{x}=\frac{x}{x}=1

The left-hand limit or Limit at x=0^-

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} f (x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} \frac{|x|}{x}=\frac{-x}{x}=-1

Since Left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, The limit of this function at x = 0 does not exists.
