The sequence has uniform convergence to when, for every , there is an independent of such that for every and every . Fix and choose a single with . By continuity of , sufficiently small within the interval gives . The triangle inequality then givesThis proves continuity at every point, including endpoints with the relative topology.
For the moving points, use the just-proved continuity of :This is uniform convergence at moving evaluation points: uniform control is what allows the evaluation point to vary with .
