: The problem with using phrases like   ''natural numbers''   and/or   ''counting numbers''   is that there isn't a clear and agreed-upon definition(s), some include zero, others do not.   The same problem exists with   ''whole numbers''.   Note that Wikipedia says that in computer science,   ''natural numbers''   always includes zero.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:42, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
