Is zero a number?
David In Indy:
Okay. I'm as bored as hell and I started wondering about it. Zero is NOTHING so how can it be a number? But I see it used as a number all the time.
What do you think? Is it a number?
mvansand76:
YES, and a very beautiful one for that matter!!! >:( What are you suggesting, David, that 0 isn't a number? Huh? Well? Mmm? >:(

I don't know what I'm thinking! :D
But a number indicates a quantity, and zero is nothing, so how could it be a number? But people use it all the time and I've heard people refer to it as a number, so I'm very confused. ???
How can it be a number when it it isn't anything? Since it's NOTHING, it doesn't exist, does it? But we can see it. Here it is.... 0. See?
And then what about all thsoe negative "numbers"? That's even worse! How can something be NEGATIVE NOTHING?? ???
