Zero isn't a positive integer.

Negative zero doesn't exist for integers either.

0 is not a positive number.

Zero is positive and negative

jandrese | karma 30121 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2022-02-04 11:49:44

0 is a nonnegative number.

How Is 0 not positive?

phoe-krk | karma 8255 | avg karma 6.23 · | 2021-02-19 20:11:39+00:00

Not necessarily. Any positive integer is greater than zero.

Doesn't negative imply nonzero? :)

bagrow | karma 315 | avg karma 4.2 · | 2021-05-18 14:05:14+00:00

Zero is a digit.

johndoe42377 | karma -22 | avg karma -0.13 · | 2021-03-05 15:41:31+00:00

Since definition of zero is x - x, negative zero is utter bullshit.

ColinWright | karma 127421 | avg karma 8.1 · | 2016-06-24 15:30:43+00:00

Zero is neither positive nor negative

jolmg | karma 5592 | avg karma 2.09 · | 2019-11-19 23:39:49

Though, that has 2 zeros, a positive and a negative one, but zero should be neither. To avoid that, you can do:

  data Int = Zero | NonZero Sign PositiveInt
  data PositiveInt = One | Succ PositiveInt
  data Sign = Positive | Negative

widdma | karma 154 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2016-12-13 17:42:32

Zero is an integer. The point is the right side is not. Since it's strictly greater than zero and less than 1.

Lvl999Noob | karma 179 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2020-11-01 10:52:52

Isn't N just the positive integers and W the one with zero?

raybb | karma 9072 | avg karma 5.74 · | 2017-08-09 15:18:33+00:00

If you count zero as a positive number then one solution is:

0, 109552575, 29354524 :)

coldtea | karma 86593 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2022-08-03 01:52:18

0 perhaps.

1 doesn't mean much regarding true, if every other non-zero integer is also true.

techbio | karma 888 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2018-07-30 17:52:14

That zero is a real number.

pluma | karma 7253 | avg karma 2.22 · | 2016-06-24 15:32:56+00:00

In IEEE floating point numbers there is a positive zero and a negative zero. In mathematics there is no negative zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(number)#Mathematics

activiation | karma 767 | avg karma 1.84 · | 2023-05-02 15:12:16

Is zero a number?

deadowl | karma 206 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2016-03-24 15:08:38+00:00

Another question is whether you'd want to include negative zero as a positive integer.
