Let B[0,1]B[0,1] denote the set of bounded real-valued functions on [0,1][0,1]. A distance dd on B[0,1]B[0,1] is defined by

d(f,g)=supx[0,1]f(x)g(x).d(f, g)=\sup _{x \in[0,1]}|f(x)-g(x)| .

Given that (B[0,1],d)(B[0,1], d) is a metric space, show that it is complete. Show that the subset C[0,1]B[0,1]C[0,1] \subset B[0,1] of continuous functions is a closed set.
