If a sequence of absolute values is bounded, does it then converge?


Proof of convergence of a sequence in $mathbb{R}^n$Show that every monotonic increasing and bounded sequence is Cauchy.Proving there exist convergent subsequences for bounded sequence of real numbersLimit of a monotonically increasing sequenceIf the distance between successive terms approaches 0, does the sequence converge?Norm of sequence of bounded maps divergesLet $(x_n)$ be a bounded sequence such that $x_{n+1} geqslant x_n - frac{1}{2^{n}}$ for every $n in mathbb{N}$, show that $(x_n)$ converges.If ${a_n}$ are the Fibonacci numbers, then does $sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{a_n}$ converge?If $sum x_n$ converges, is the even partial sums of the sequence squared Cauchy?Concluding whether $(y_n)_n$ is a bounded sequence

I'm stuck on an easy proof. I have a bounded sequence $sumlimits_{k=1}^{n}|x_{k}|$ and I need to prove that it converges. I don't see how this would work. I don't see how I could use cauchy and also I don't see why this sequence would have to have a limit.



EDIT: thanks to the tips the solution was easy. Another proof for the convergence of the sequence $sumlimits_{k=1}^{n}x_{k}$ must be given. Now I cannot use monotonically increasing sequence. I was thinking about rearranging $S_{n}$ in a way that it becomes monotonically increasing but I don't know if that is allowed. Any suggestions?
