How can I find interior of $S$, exterior of $S$, Boundary of $S$, limit points of $S$ ,isolated points of $S$ and closure of $S$?

My try:

I found that $ Int(S)=\phi$ because if $m \in S$ there doesn't exist open set $U \in$ usual topolgy of $R$ such that $m \in U \subseteq S$.

But sadly I was not capable of finding the rest of them.

My motivation to problem: Yesterday at night I was searching about proofs of irrationality of $e$ and I found pdf file that give outline which is built as exercises for proof using topology...one exercise of them is:

Prove that $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}$ iff $0$ is an isolated point of $\{a+b\alpha:a,b \in \mathbb{Z}\}$.

So for this reason I become curious about finding interior of S, exterior of S, Boundary of S, limit points of S ,isolated points of S and closure of S (note:I choose $\alpha=\sqrt{2}$ in $S$).

The pdf file is: https://web.williams.edu/Mathematics/lg5/Irrationale.pdf
