sequences and series - Calculate the limit of an+1=cospian

This is my first time to ask a question here, so I'm sorry if I make any mistake.



I'm trying to calculate the limit of an, which is defined as an+1:=cosπan.



The first term is not given in this problem, so I have to prove it by cases.
I am badly stuck not knowing how to find the limit of this sequence and where to start the proof. After I substituted some values of a1 and calculate it, I found the convergence value might be 1 with almost every a1 (there were different ones), but I end up stuck here.
