Understanding $c_0$ is a closed subspace of $\ell^{\infty}$

Understanding the proof that $c_0$ is a closed subspace of $\ell^\infty$ I came across this proof and I have a simple question, does this proof only shows that $c_0$ is only a closed subset in $\ell^{\infty}$? Do I need to show that $c_0$ is a linear subspace in $\ell^{\infty}$ for the subspace part?
Any help would be helpful.

Yes, the author of that post only tries to prove that $c_0$ is a closed subset of $\ell^\infty$, in spite of the title of the post. Actually, the statement is “Prove that $c_0$ is closed in $\ell^\infty$.” So, yes, you still have to prove that it is a subspace (which is very easy, by the way).
