    I was always taught that it isn't but I did a quick google search and everyone is saying it is. Now I'm all confused.

    Zero is a number. It is included in the Real Numberline, Rational Numberline, Integer Numberline, and Whole Numberline.

    As long as you understand in your particular way, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer ;)..

    I thought zero is a number in the same way negative numbers are :confused:
    Ah well, this is why I gave up on Maths as soon as possible...

    Zero is on the number line so I am going with yes.
