If $(X,\tau)$ is an arbitrary topological space and $A\subseteq X$ If $(X,\tau)$ is an arbitrary topological space and $A\subseteq X$
then the union of all open sets contained in $A$ is defined to be then the union of all open sets contained in $A$ is defined to be
the interior of $A$. Equivalently, one could define the interior the interior of $A$. Equivalently, one could define the interior
of $A$ to the be the largest open set contained in $A$. We denoted of $A$ to the be the largest open set contained in $A$. We denoted
