Z is for Zero<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Zip, Zilch, Nada, Nought, Nothing, and Nil. They all mean the same thing…Zero. Did you ever notice how useful the number zero (0) is? You can add or subtract it to anything and it doesn\u2019t change what you started with. You can multiply it by anything and you\u2019re left with it alone\u2026zero!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2018ve been worked really hard, finished what you were working on, and you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll have nothing (zero) left to do and you can relax and enjoy the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great price to pay for things. \u201cThis is provided to you at no cost.\u201d $0.00 means it\u2019s free.<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes you feel good when you have done something and get zero complaints. Of course, the opposite may be true if you get zero compliments.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great income to have when you tack it onto other numbers; the more the merrier. \u201cYesterday I spent $1 on a lottery ticket but today I was told I would get $1,000,000 for it!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Your computers heavily depend on it. Remember binary code is just made up of 1s and 0s. But the number one (1) doesn\u2019t begin with the letter \u2018z\u2019, so we\u2019ll have to leave our \u201cOnes\u201d discussions for another day. <\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Zero \u2013 is nothing to scoff at. (btw: the pun was intended there) <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And since this is the last day of the A to Z Challenge Blog for 2020, and I\u2019ve completed all of my posts, I have ZERO things left to write!… Well, that\u2019s almost true. Here comes the creepy number one (1) again. I still have to write one more thing: <\/span>my A to Z Challenge reflections piece for 2020 is due some time in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh well, I hope you enjoyed all the pieces I wrote for this year’s challenge. Come back and visit again; there\u2019s sure to be a lot more writing.<\/span><\/p>\n
