$X$ has a chain of subspaces $\empty = X_{-1}\subseteq X_0\subseteq X_1 \subseteq \dots$, such that:

Here *attaching (n+1)-cells* means that there is a discrete space $J$, and for every $j \in J$ a continuous map $f_j:\partial D^{n+1} \to X_n$, such that $X_{n+1}$ is homeomorphic to the quotient $(X_n \sqcup (J \times D^{n+1})) /{\sim}$,

where $\sim$ is the equivalence relation generated by $(j,x) \sim f_j(x)$ for all $(j,x)\in J \times \partial D^{n+1}$.

The set $J$ is allowed to be empty, in which case $X_{n+1}=X_n$.

Here *attaching n-cells* means that there is a discrete space $J$, and for every $j \in J$ a continuous map $f_j:\partial D^n \to X_{n-1}$, such that $X_n$ is homeomorphic to the quotient $(X_{n-1} \sqcup (J \times D^n)) /{\sim}$,

The set $J$ is allowed to be empty, in which case $X_n=X_{n-1}$.

The $0$-skeleton $X_0$ has the discrete topology; if it is empty, $X$ itself is empty.

Here $D^n$ is the closed unit disk in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\partial D^n=S^{n-1}$ is the unit sphere in $\mathbb R^n$. We set $\partial D^0=S^{-1}=\emptyset$ by convention.
