Conditionally convergent integral
It is known that in a conditionally convergent series, the terms can be rearranged so as to output any desired value. Thus, a conditionally convergent series is said to be undefined.
My question is about the following integral:
$intlimits_{ - infty }^infty {{{sin left( x right)} over x}dx} $
It's known that this integral is conditionally convergent: it converges, but no absolutely.
Can one say that if ${a_n}buildrel {n to infty } over
longrightarrow infty $ and ${b_n}buildrel {n to infty } over
longrightarrow - infty $ that the value of
$$mathop {lim }limits_{n to infty } intlimits_{{b_n}}^{{a_n}} {{{sin left( x right)} over x}dx} $$
depends on the choice of the sequences ${a_n},{b_n}$ ?
I have experimented a bit in wolfram alpha but no matter what I tried, the result was $pi $.
I do remember hearing and in fact I've read also here:
Is there a rearrangement theorem for conditionally convergent improper integrals?
That the value of the conditionally convergent integral depends on the rearrangement.

The limit is $pi$ irrespective of what those sequences are. It is a standard fact that $lim _{tto infty}int_0^{t} frac {sin , x} x , dx=pi/2$ from which my claim follows.
