A map from a subset of a metric space into a metric space is continuous at a point relative to the subset exactly when it carries sequences in the subset converging to the point to sequences converging to its value; likewise on the whole subset.
In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let and be metric spaces, let , let and let .
If is continuous at relative to , then for every sequence in with for every that converges to in , the sequence converges to in .
Assume the axiom of dependent choice. If for every sequence in with for every that converges to in the sequence converges to in , then is continuous at relative to .
Assume the axiom of dependent choice. Then is continuous on if and only if for every and every sequence in with for every that converges to in , the sequence converges to in .
