often the hardest part in those situations is having a working example
to write/explain from....?

These simple functions belong to a sub-class known as strictly dominating
functions, meaning that their output is always bigger than their inputs. A
striking fact, known as the complementation theorem, holds for all such
functions. It says there is always an infinite collection of inputs that
when fed into the function will produce a collection of outputs that is
precisely the non-inputs.
