1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
If $$f(x)$$ is a piecewise-continuous function in $$[-L,L]$$, show that its indefinite integral $$F(x) = \int_{-L}^x f(s) ds$$ has a full Fourier series that converges pointwise.

2. Relevant equations
Full Fourier series: $$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}A_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty A_n \cos (\frac{n \pi }{L}x) + B_n \sin (\frac{n \pi}{L}x)$$

Definition: $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n (x)$$ converges to $$f(x)$$ pointwise in $$(a,b)$$ if for each $$a<x<b$$ we have
$$\Big| f(x) - \displaystyle{\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n (x)} \Big| \to 0$$ as $$N\to\infty$$.

3. The attempt at a solution
I think I need to somehow justify integrating term-by-term, but am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas?

If you want to integrate term by term, you need uniform convergence.
Haven't really looked at this, so not saying that term by term integration is the solution here.
