This probably doesn't help but I will throw it in the mix.

0 and 1 is the binary language in the Technical term. A set of 0 and 1 is known as binary code which represents text, instructions, or any other data. For example (01000001) this code represents the letter A. Computer only understand the language in 0s and 1s.

Zero divided by two is zero - an integer. Therefore, zero is an even number.

Back to the OP.

Is zero a number?

The continual references to zero as a position as in TDC
Or zero as and end point as in countdown,
Are totally irrelevant.

These examples are simply an easy way to denote a location
It could just as easily be done with an X or an A and still function exactly the same.

But as a stand alone number, as the OP poses.
It is not

On either side of an even number, is an odd number
On either side of an odd number, is an even number.
An even number can always be divided by 2

However, on either side of 0 is an odd number,
Yet 0 cannot be divided by 2 or for that matter multiplied, added or subtracted.

It fits none of the constraints of any number.

Zero CAN be divided by two - the answer is zero.

Zero is therefore an even number.

But , again from my personal experience and opinion, you cannot have anything that is zero.

Days with accidents this month : 0
x and y on graph are normally set at 0
Blood alcohol reading : 0

Exactly.
They start at zero, nothing, a point of beginning.

Zero is zero, nothing.
It has no value, simply because it dies not exist.
You can't divide, multiply or add zero.

It's not a number is a multiplier for convenience.

That's weird, because I was taught at school that 4+0=4, 4x0=0, 4-0=4 and 4÷0=0.

To say you can't multiply, add, subtract or divide 0 is silly. Children are taught that you can.

But with 1, 2, 3, 4, etc - you get something.
With 0, you get nothing.
Take 0 on the Roulette Table.
If it lands on 0, then everyone and gets nothing and the table claims it as a washout.

0 is a Clayton's number. A number you have when you don't have a number.

Only an American numerical system would consider 0 as odd or even because they are still stuck in the primitive 'Imperial' system with only a 'few' other nations use these days. Probably explains their crap Economical situations and how their 'super-power', like China's - is on 'borrowed' time and in super-debt.

But then again, things have been going wrong for America ever since they threw their Holy Grail (Union Jack) off their Flag and away. For some reason, they are jealous of Australia because we keep the 'British' on on our Flag.

A whole number is a number that can be written without a fractional component.

That's any number with no decimal point, that's not a fraction, and not anything that's written like √2.

So 1 is a whole number. So is 2976. So is 1,345,932. So is 0. So is -1. So is -2976. So is -1,345,932.

Zero is a whole number.

What's primitive about the Imperial system? It's superior to the Metric system. And what does that have to do with zero?

Zero is a whole number and an even number. If you have proven otherwise, maybe you should tell mathematicians that, because mathematicians believe it to be a whole number and an even number.

It displays all the properties of an even number.

What's primitive to the Imperial system? A lot. It's all 'wonkey' like a monkey trying to walk upright. It's like a dead branch on the tree of Mathmatics.
Everything is 'odd' about Imperial, unlike Metric.
95% of the world's nations use Metric and for good reason.
Imperial is like a shopping trolley with two wonkey wheels wanting to go in different directions except straight ahead.

This is why Australia has to fund USA's NASA programs and the United Nations. This is why Australia is one of the wealthiest nations on the planet per population ratio. This is why we (and NZ) could 'afford' to go into total Lock Down and 'cleanse' the Virus from our country. We even fund the United Nations - which only a 'few' nations do.

Not bad for a bunch of bread stealing Convicts eh? Wink

A whole lot of nothing. Cheesy

Zero in mathematics doesn't necessarily have to mean nothing.

The zero in the number 205 does not mean nothing.

Zero is like Cement. You only count the bricks when you build a wall.

It's similar with the other digits.

The 2 in the number 8269 does not mean 2. It means 200.

The 0 in the number 805 does not mean nothing. It's there to differentiate that number from 85.

So zero doesn't necessarily mean nothing.

But even on its own, when it means nothing, it is still a whole number and an even number.

The Ancient Geeks believed that 1 is neither fully odd not fully even.

By the way, there are twice as many even numbers as there are odd numbers.
