Is 0 a Natural Number

In the previous post we have discussed about List of Prime Numbers and In today's session we are going to discuss about Is 0 a Natural Number. Before discussing about the question: is 0 a natural number, let us first discuss about natural numbers. A natural number can be simply defined as a number which occurs very commonly and obviously in nature.
We can easily get the answer of the question: is 0 a natural number, by this definition, the natural number is a number in whole or non-negative number. We denote the set of natural numbers by N and it can be defined in either of the two ways: Positive numbers or non-negative numbers.
N = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
N = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,….
So, the answer of the question: is 0 a natural number, is that there is no universal agreement on including zero in the set of natural numbers: many of us define the term natural number as positive integers only and for others natural numbers are the non-negative numbers. (know more about Natural numbers, here
Another explanation to the question: is 0 a natural number, goes like, the set of natural numbers, no matter it includes zero or not, is a denumerable set which means no matter how many elements  are there in a set, every element is denoted by the list which leads to the identity of the element itself in the set.
Now we are going to give an example in the question: is 0 a natural number, the example is no matter which of two lists of natural numbers we select ( 1, 2, 3, 4, ... or the list 0, 1, 2, 3, ...), the numbers 356,834,252 will always be a natural number, but 356,834,252.5, 3/4, and -32 can never be natural numbers.
So finally, the answer to the question: is 0 a natural number, is , that it is not certain that 0 is not a natural number, some people do consider it as a natural number.a
