A Question on Uniform Convergence

Give an example of a uniformly convergent sequence $(f_{n})_{n\in\mathbb N}$ of continuously differentiable functions such that $(f\prime_{n})_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is not uniformly continuous.

Just preparing for my exams in a few weeks. Need to know the answer to this one to have as an example. Just in case!

Choose:

$f_n(x)=\dfrac{\sin nx}{n}$

No wonder. It is a typical counter example. :)

Sorry, what exactly is not uniformly continuous? Should $f'_n$ be not uniformly continuous for every $n$ ?

I supposed that is a typo and he meant " ... $(f'_n)$ not uniformly convergent".
