Suppose ${f_n}$ is a sequence of complex functions and $|f_n(x)-f(x)|to 0$ for all $x$. If we put "for all $x$" behind the $|f_n(x)-f(x)|to 0$, does it show that the convergence is uniformly convergence?

          No. The sentences





          • $|f_n(x)-f(x)|to0$ for all $x$

          • for all $x$, $|f_n(x)-f(x)|to0$


          express the same fact. It's just a matter of rewriting the sentence in an equivalent form, which is a feature of English and many other languages.



          You pass from pointwise to uniform convergence when you interchange the quantifiers in the $epsilon$-$delta$ definition of the convergence, namely you replace $forall epsilon forall x exists delta cdots$ with $forall epsilon exists delta forall x cdots$.

          • If there is statement:there exists a sequence $f_n$ on $X$ such that $|f_n(ab)-f_n(a)f_n(b)| to 0$ for all $a,b$ in $X$,is the convergence here pointwise or uniformly?

          • Written like this, the convergence is universally intended to be pointwise. I just means that once you fix values of $a$ and $b$, the sequence you wrote converges to $0$.
