Absence of quantity
Zero, the number representing nothing or the absence of quantity.
As a digit, 0 serves as a placeholder in positional notation, making the difference between 1 and 10.
Zero marks the origin point on number lines and temperature scales: It dropped below zero last night.
In casual speech, zero emphasizes complete absence: zero chance, zero tolerance.
To zero in on something is to focus precisely on it.
