Here is the text of Exercise:
2 a) Let $X$ be an ordered set. Show that the set of intervals
$[x, \rightarrow[$$\left[x, \rightarrow\right[$ (resp. $]\leftarrow, x]$$\left]\leftarrow, x\right]$)
is a base of topology on X;$X$; this topology is called the right (resp. left) topology of $X$. In the right topology, any intersection of open sets is an open set, and the closure of {$x$}$\{x\}$ is the interval $]\leftarrow, x] $$\left]\leftarrow, x\right] $.
The above one was from English edition. I translated French edition and found the same text.
Should not be $X$ a totally ordered set ? And is not that the set of intervals should be $]x, \rightarrow[$$\left]x, \rightarrow\right[$ in place of $[x, \rightarrow[$$\left[x, \rightarrow\right[$ ?
Is this an errata ?
