These problems concern the discrete metric. You can assume that the underlying space is R.
(a) What does a convergent sequence look like in the discrete metric?
(b) Show that the discrete metric yields a counterexample to the claim that every bounded sequence has a convergent subsequence.
(c) What does an open set look like in the discrete metric? A closed set?
(d) What does a (sequentially or topologically) compact set look like in the discrete metric?
(e) Show that the discrete metric yields a counterexample to the claim that every closed and bounded set is compact.
