Zero is definitely a number.

When you’re measuring or counting something, zero represents the absence of that thing – but that doesn’t mean that zero itself isn’t a number, it’s actually a very important number!

Almost all of the math we learn in school and use in everyday life and also in banking, science, engineering, and elsewhere all depends on there being a number zero to work with.
