Brilliantly succinct answer!
And the programming task that started this thread is a nice (though
microscopic) illustration of the culture shock when our tidy, jewel-like
programming models come to grips with the messy, non-systematic nature of
many application domains.
Thanks for both.

In our written notation, "0" is a special case: it's the only integer written with a leading zero. So don't be too surprised if your code requires a special case for it.
