# Complement, closure, interior. Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space, and let $A \subset X$ be any subset. A point $p \in X$ is called an **interior point** of $A$ if there exists an open ball $B(p,r)$ such that $B(p,r) \subset A$. A point $p \in X$ is called an **adherent point** of $A$ if every open ball $B(x,r)$ intersects $A$. We say the **interior** of $A$ to be the set of all interior points of $A$, denote as $\text{int}(A)=A^{o}$. We say the **closure** of $A$ to be the set of all adherent points of $A$, denote as $\text{cl}(A) = A^{k}$. Let us denote the **complement** of $A$ to be $\text{co}(A)=A^{c}=\{x\in X : x \notin A \}$.
