Topic: Convergent sequences are bounded above

Hi there,

I'm trying to prove that convergent sequences are bounded above. I've included a proof that convergent sequences are eventually bounded above. I want to use the maximum of s1,s2,....,s(N1),a+1s_1, s_2,....,s_{(N-1)}, a+1.

import data.real.basic

def converges_to (s :   ) (a : ) :=
 ε > 0,  N,  n  N, abs (s n - a) < ε

variables {s :   } {a : }

theorem exists_le_of_converges_to_ev (cs : converges_to s a) :
   N b,  n, N  n  s n < b :=
begin
cases cs 1 zero_lt_one with N h,
use [N , a + 1],
intros n h₁,
specialize @h n h₁,
have h₂: s n - a  abs(s n - a),
apply le_abs_self,
suffices h₃: s n - a < 1,
exact sub_lt_iff_lt_add'.mp h₃,
apply lt_of_le_of_lt h₂ h,
end

theorem exists_le_of_converges_to_eventually (cs : converges_to s a) :
   b,  n, s n < b :=
begin
cases cs 1 zero_lt_one with N h,
sorry
end

Can you produce a mwe?

That should work now.
