Some functions are not defined for selected values of their argument. But, as you calculate the value of the function nearer and nearer to these selected values, you get a consistent result - whichever side you approach the critical value from.

For example, sin(x)/x [where the angle x is measured in radians] is not defined for x = 0 since it would be 0/0 which is undefined. However, as x approaches 0, from the negative or positive side, the value of the function gets closer and closer to 1. In this case, the limit of sin(x)/x, as x approaches 0, is said to be 1.
