The given example sequence shows the importance of including the boundary points of the interval, since the limit points must be in the space itself: an open ( or half-open ) interval of the real numbers is not compact.

It is also crucial that the interval be bounded, since in the interval one could choose the sequence of points, of which no sub-sequence ultimately gets arbitrarily close to any given real number.
