Zero

[Thoth]

Is zero an odd or even number?

[Lennon]

I'd say even as the next number is 1 which is odd. Could be wrong though.

[lisaj]

even. but to be honest there are schools of thought that say it's neither. One thing is sure though... it's NOT odd!

[Squirrel]

If you count intergers (whole numbers) as going even, odd, even odd ... etc. then zero would count as even. However, if you were to draw graphs of y=xⁿ, where n is any integer, e.g. -3, 0, 5, then you see patterns that go with every odd number (e.g. the '� shape with y=xeven n) and patterns that go with every odd number, but y=x⁰ is always a straight horizontal line, y=1, because xⁿ is always 1.

... So I don't really know what zero counts as. Even, probably.

Again sorry for the U symbol not appearing on the page....

Neither. As 0 is nothing, it can't be anything.

zero is a NULL number [see null q. several times on this site] :-)
