I have come up with an example when I trying to learn what first countability means
It says(from wikipedia)
In a metric space, for any point x, the sequence of open balls around x with radius 1/n form a countable neighbourhood basis \mathcal{B}(x) = \{ B_{1/n}(x) ; n \in \mathbb N^* \}. This means every metric space is first-countable.
According to definition of nhd basis we can express every open set can be expressed as a union of elts of nhd basis But for example \{ B_{ sqrt{2} }(x) can not be expressed in this way
Here is the question
which point did i miss?
