Can I just point out there never was, never can be, a year Zero....
Count Zero was created in 1986.
From 1BC to 2009 was 2009 years, as there was no year zero.
Count Zero has 256 pages.
Well, there was no year 0 (zero), so it must have been 1, the first year of Jesus Christ's life.
it marks the beginning of the year of the Lord (anno Domini)
It stands for Before Christ. The initials BC and AD (Anno Domini) were created after the 525 Easter as a way to divide dates as occurring before or after Christ's birth. Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi literally means 'in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ. AD refers to any year after or including the birth of Christ (They were off by a few years in their calculations). The first year AD is 1 AD, intended to be the year of Christ's birth. Preceding 1 AD is the year 1 BC. There was no 12 month period designated Year Zero.
Because of the birth of Christ that happened just somewhere in the middle of recorded history. We count the assumed year of that birth as the year 0 (zero) and we count up for all years after that. That is why today we still use the notation 2014 AD, AD meaning Anno Domini in Latin and 'since the birth of our Lord' in English.That means that we count all the years before the birth of Christ in the other direction. A person living before the year 0 would for instance have been born 100 years before Christ (that is why pre-Christian years always have the addition BC, short for before Christ) and after having lived for 70 years, have died 30 years BC. The same person having been born 200 years later would have been born 100 years after Christ and died 170 years after Christ.
To count significant figures, you count all the non-zero digits. You also count zeros which are between non-zero digits, as well as zeros which are after the decimal point, only if they appear to the right of non-zero digits.
Zero is zero. If you multiply it by -1, +1 or zero it is still zero, so there is no distinction. As for dates, when organizing the current calendar, nobody noticed that there should be a date "0", because they were fixated on "BC" and "AD" and finished up with a system which missed out the year "OC" meaning "Of Christ". Probably the only system where (1) - (-1) = 1 instead of 2.
never count the zero's. only count numbers higher than zero.
No, zero dollar payments do not count toward loan forgiveness.
No. There was zero acknowledgement of The Amanda Show in 2009.
