Difference between boundary point & limit point.

Definition of Limit Point: "Let $S$ be a subset of a topological space $X$. A point $x$ in $X$ is a limit point of $S$ if every neighbourhood of $x$ contains at least one point of $S$ different from $x$ itself."
~from Wikipedia

Definition of Boundary: "Let $S$ be a subset of a topological space $X$. The boundary of $S$ is the set of points $p$ of $X$ such that every neighborhood of $p$ contains at least one point of $S$ and at least one point not of $S$."
~from Wikipedia

So deleted neighborhoods of limit points must contain at least one point in $S$. But (not necessarily deleted) neighborhoods of boundary points must contain at least one point in $S$ AND one point not in $S$.

So they are not the same.

Consider the set $S=\{0\}$ in $\Bbb R$ with the usual topology. $0$ is a boundary point but NOT a limit point of $S$.

Consider the set $S'=[0,1]$ in $\Bbb R$ with the usual topology. $0.5$ is a limit point but NOT a boundary point of $S'$.


Consider the interval $[0,1]$. Each element of it is a limit point, i.e. $\alpha$ is a limit of the sequence $n_1=\alpha, n_2=\alpha, \ldots$. Only $0,1$ are boundary points.
