{{Short description|Type of topological space}} {{Refimprove|date=March 2011}} In [[topology]], a '''discrete space''' is a particularly simple example of a [[topological space]] or similar structure, one in which the points form a {{em|discontinuous sequence}}, meaning they are ''[[Isolated point|isolated]]'' from each other in a certain sense. The discrete topology is the [[Comparison of topologies|finest]] topology that can be given on a set. Every subset is [[Open set|open]] in the discrete topology so that in particular, every [[Singleton (mathematics)|singleton subset]] is an [[open set]] in the discrete topology. <!-- Dummy edit, can be removed -->
