The first four consecutive nonnegative integers. One-hundred and twenty-three with a leading zero.
An integer is a whole number. Nonnegative mean not negative. A nonnegative integer is a whole number that is not a negative number. For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,....
The term whole number is used by various authors to mean either: * the nonnegative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) * the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...) * all integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...) So, depending on the definition used in the text you are using, it would either be* 0 * 1 * negative infinity
The unique nonnegative square root of a nonnegative real number. For example, the principal square root of 9 is 3, although both -3 and 3 are square roots of 9.
That depends on whom you're talking to. The term "natural number" refers either to a member of the set of positive integers 1, 2, 3, ... or to the set of nonnegative integers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... . Regrettably, there seems to be no general agreement about whether to include 0 in the set of natural numbers.
