Take on . Each function is continuous, and the pointwise limit is for , while . Nevertheless
The limiting function is Riemann integrable, since changing a value at one point does not change its Riemann integral. There is no uniform convergence: for every , , with the supremum approached as from below. Equivalently, the uniform limit theorem would require the limit to be continuous.
