$ f(n) = \begin{cases} \frac{(n + 1)}{2} & \text{if } n \text{ is odd,} \\ \frac{(4-n)}{2} & \text{if } n \text{ is even,} \end{cases} $

and

$ g(n) = \begin{cases} 3 + 2n & \text{if } n \ge 0 , \\ -2n & \text{if } n < 0 . \end{cases} $

Define $(g \circ f)(n) = g(f(n))$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and $(f \circ g)(n) = f(g(n))$ for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$.
