Cauchy Sequence Characterized only By Directly Neighbouring Sequence Members

Let $(a_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers, for which it holds, that
$$ lim_{n rightarrow infty} lvert a_{n+1}-a_n rvert = 0. $$ Does this already imply, that $(a_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence?

          Unfortunately not. Consider
          $$a_n:=sum_{i=1}^nfrac{1}{i}.$$
          We find $a_{n+1}-a_n=1/(n+1)to 0,$ but $lim_{ntoinfty}a_n=infty,$ hence ${a_n}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ is not a cauchy sequence.

            No. The sequence $a_n=sum_{k=1}^nfrac{1}{k}$ is a counterexample.

              Counterexample: $a_n = sqrt{n}$. Clearly this sequence does not converge. But
              $$
              a_{n+1} - a_{n} = sqrt{n+1} - sqrt{n} = frac{(sqrt{n+1} - sqrt{n})(sqrt{n+1} + sqrt{n})}{(sqrt{n+1} + sqrt{n})} = frac{1}{sqrt{n+1} + sqrt{n}} to 0 , .
              $$
