In nested intervals, let $a_n$ be the increasing sequence from the left-hand side and $b_n$ be the decreasing sequence from the right-hand side. In the definition of the convergence the crucial condition was $|a_n-b_n|\rightarrow 0$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$ .
Given a sequence $c_n$ and consider a sequence $n_i$ of positive integers such that $n_1<n_2<\cdots $ . Then the sequence $c_{n_i}$ is called a sub sequence of $c_n$ .
It is clear that $c_n$ converges to $c$ if and only if every sub sequence of $c_n$ converges to $c$ .
A sequence $c_n$ is said to be a Cauchy sequence if for any $\epsilon>0$ there is a $N$ such that $|c_n-c_m|<\epsilon$ if $n,m\geq N$ . (It means $|c_n-c_m|\rightarrow 0$ but $[c_n,c_m]$ are not always nested. )
We need to know the theorem in which every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence. However in the theorem the limit is not explicitly involved.
