Pointwise limit function $f$ of sequence $(f_n)$

My sequence of functions $$f_n (x) = begin{cases}
1 & ,x = frac{1}{n} \
x & ,x = 1,1/2, ...,1/(n-1) \
0 & ,otherwise end{cases}$$



My attempt is to fix $k in mathbb{N}$, consider the following cases when $x = 1/k$ for $n geq k $ and $x neq 1/k$. Is there a better approach to find the pointwise limit $f$ of this sequence $f_n$?

    Pointwise limits must be calculated pointswise. So, yes, you have to split up in these cases.

Let $x$ be a real.



If $x=frac 1k$ then for large enough $nge k+2,$ we will have



$$frac 1n <frac{1}{n-1}<xle 1$$ then
$$f_n(x)=x$$



and if $xne frac 1k implies f_n(x)=0$



The pointwise limit function is
$$f:xmapsto x$$
if $x=frac 1k$ and zero elsewhere.
