Baroni's theorem (Theorem)

Let $ (x_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of real numbers such that $ \displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (x_{n+1}-x_n) = 0$. Let $ A=\{ x_n \vert n \in \mathbb{N} \}$ and A' the set of limit points of $ A$. Then A' is a (possibly degenerate) interval from $ \overline{\mathbb{R}}$, where $ \overline{\mathbb{R}}=\mathbb{R} \bigcup \{-\infty,+\infty\}$
