TITLE: Uniform limit of Lipschitz functions is a Lipschitz function
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: Let $f_n:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a sequence of Lipschitz functions. Each $f_n$ has a Lipschitz constant equal to $M_n>0$. 
Suppose that $f_n$ converges 
uniformly to a function $f$. Then $f$ is Lipschitz.  
My attemp:
For all $x,y \in [0,1], x \neq y$:
$|f(x)-f(y)| \leq |f(x)-f_n(x)| + |f_n(x)-f_n(y)| + |f_n(y)-f(y)|$
For $n\geq n_0$, we have $|f(x)-f_n(x)|<|x-y|$ < and $|f(y)-f_n(y)|<|x-y|$ 
since $f_n$ converges uniformly to $f$.
Thus:
$|f(x)-f(y)| \leq |f(x)-f_{n_{0}}(x)| + |f_{n_{0}}(x)-f_{n_{0}}(y)| + |f_{n_{0}}(y)-f(y)| \leq (2+M_{n_0})|x-y|$
Then $f$ is Lipschitz with constant equal to $2+M_{n_0}$
Am I right? Is there an easier way to solve this problem?
Thank you.
