Continuous Bijective Function from [0,1) to R

real-analysis

Prove that there does not exist a continuous, bijective function $f:[0,1)\to \mathbb{R}.$

By contradiction I can assume a function exists, so that function is surjective, onto and continuous. And I know I need to use the intermediate value theorem but I can't create such a contradiction.

HINT: Show that a continuous injection is either order preserving or order reversing.
