Hey peeps, is Zero a number?

Question

I think its counted as a number sometimes, & sometimes it's not counted as number. Can anyone else please shed some light on this bind?

Answer 1

Yes computers start counting from zero however some programing languages like python(I think) start counting at 1

Answer 2

loops was already there (for some reason) & i just came out of a while loop using zero.

the number 1000 is not at all the same as absolute zero. those zeros are just symbols to organize and familiarize us (this civilization) with numbers. absolute zero is nothin, negative numbers are debt. but im trying to think in terms of programming.
