Why there is no interior points in a Cantor set? Please explain me in detail.

The Cantor Set is a set of numbers created by removing the middle third of a line segment repeatedly, resulting in an infinite set of points that are not connected. It is named after German mathematician Georg Cantor.
There are no interior points in the Cantor Set because every point in the set is an endpoint of a line segment that has been removed during the construction process. This means that there are no points that are completely contained within the set.
The Cantor Set is an example of a self-similar set, which means that it has the same shape at different scales. This is because the process of removing the middle third of a line segment is repeated infinitely, resulting in smaller and smaller line segments that have the same shape as the original set.
The Cantor Set has a dimension of 0, which is known as a zero-dimensional set. This is because it has no interior points and cannot be measured using traditional methods of dimensionality.
The Cantor Set has been used in various fields, including computer science, physics, and biology. In computer graphics, it can be used to create fractal patterns, and in physics, it has been used to model diffusion and phase transitions. In biology, it has been used to study the hierarchical structure of protein molecules.
