Is $\sin(1/x)$ uniformly continuous on $(0,1)$

The following question was part of my analysis assignment and I was unable to correctly solve it.

Is $\sin(1/x)$ uniformly continuous on $(0,1)$?

The following reasoning was given by my instructor : Is $\sin(1/x)$ can't be continuously extended to $0$. So, its not uniformly continuous on $(0,1)$.

But I have a question : why we need to extend Is $\sin(1/x)$ continuously to $0$ when asked domain is $(0,1)$?

I am not satisfied by the reasoning of my instrictor.

So, I am looking for a rigorious explanation here.

Thank you!!
