Zero is neither positive nor negative, neither even nor odd. It's zero, zilch, nix, zip, nada, diddly-squat.

40 is a positive even number
No. Zero is neither positive nor negative, by definition. A positive number is greater than zero. A negative number is less than zero. Although, zero is a non-negative number (a set that includes all positive numbers and zero).
That is because of the way the absolute value is defined. The absolute value of a positive number is positive, the absolute value of a negative number is also positive. The absolute value of zero is zero. Even in the complex numbers, the absolute value is defined in such a way that it is a real and positive number.
A positive number is to the right of the zero on the number line. (I believe that is what you meant to ask).
A positive number is greater than zero; a negative number is less than zero.
