I What does "the sequence of functions has limit in R" mean?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the interpretation of the limit of a sequence of functions from a set X to R. The set T is defined as the collection of points x in X where the sequence of functions f1, f2, etc., converges to a limit in R. It is clarified that the limit is a single numerical value for each specific x, but since this is assessed for all x in X, it effectively defines a function on X. Thus, the limit can be understood as both a number at each point and a function across the set X. This duality is essential for understanding the behavior of sequences of functions in mathematical analysis.

TL;DR
I am trying understand a condition in a set notion.
Suppose f1,f2... is a sequence of functions from a set X to R. This is the set T={x in X: f1(x),... has a limit in R}. I am confused about what is the meaning of the condition in the set. Is the limit a function or a number value? Why?

I would have to say both. The condition "f1(x),... has a limit in R" is applied for one value of ##x \in R## at a time, so it gives a single value. But it is applied for every ##x \in X##, so that gives a function on ##X##.
