I'm doing this maths question where one of the conditions for it is that the number be a positive integer. The only number that works is zero, so is it a positive integer (and the answer is zero) or is it not (and the question is unsolvable/not possible/there is no answer)
Explanation would be nice
Thanks in a Advance

An integer is either greater than or less than zero ie numbers ascend or descend from 0 that makes it number lines base.Due to this we can say that its neither positive nor negative thus it belongs to integers but neither positive nor negative

It's neither. Zero is not negative, nor is it positive. It's its own category, if you like. Note that non-negative numbers include zero and positives. Likewise, non-positives include zero and negative numbers.

I'm under the impression that zero counts as neither positive nor negative.

Zero is a neutral integer. What is your problem? Perhaps someone could shine some light on it for you?

0 would not be considered negative or positive.
