real analysis - Why do we need x0 to be a cluster point if we take take the limit limxtox0f(x)?

We did limits of functions recently and I am wondering why we always required that x0 is a cluster point of the domain. Why would taking the limit not work if x0 is not a cluster point?




Our definition of a limit of a function is




Let DR be a subset, x0 a cluster point of D and f:DR a function. We say f converges to LR and write limxx0f(x)=L ε>0δ>0xD{x0}:|xx0|<δ|f(x)L|<ε




Our definition of a cluster point is





Let DR be a subset and x0R. We say x0 is a cluster point of D for every δ>0 we have D(x0δ,x0δ){x0}
