We define a natural metric, d, on the space, C∞,, of infinitely differentiable real valued functions defined on an open subset U of the real numbers, R, and show that C∞, is complete with respect to this metric. Then we show that the elements of C∞, which are analytic near at least one point of U comprise a first category subset of C∞,.
