I am a little insecure about my proof because the book provide a longer one, can you check it? Thanks in advance
Let $Isubseteq mathbbR$ be an interval and $f,f_n$ functions from I to $mathbbR$ for $ninmathbbN$ such that $(f_n)$ uniformly converges to $f$.
Let $t_0 in I$ such that for every $n$ exists $l_n=lim_tto t_0f_n(t)$.
Prove that $(l_n)$ converges.
Let $epsilon >0$ and $n,m in mathbbN$; we have $|l_n-l_m|=|lim_t to t_0(f_n(t)-f_m(t))|=lim_t to t_0|f_n(t)-f_m(t)| le lim_t to t_0epsilon=epsilon$ if $n, m$ are sufficiently large because $(f_n)$ is uniformly convergent. So $(l_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence and therefore it converges.

@KaviRamaMurthy I'm not sure of what you are saying, what if you take $f_n=f$ with f discontinuous in $t_0$? For example $f: [0,1] to mathbbR, x to 1_1(x)$ and $t_0 = 1$

A mathematician would say "OK" but a marker on an exam for an elementary course might demand some more detail.

@user. $l_n$ does not necessarily converge to $f(t_0)$.
