      Unless you were Mayan. They had a concept of zero, or so I heard. But they lacked the letters, a-z and the parentheses :p

        0 wasn’t invented yet.

        Mesopotamians invented it because year 0 was approaching, so there was a dire need to represent such number.

          0 BCE kind of sucked. Thankfully, they figured it out and 0 CE was awesome.

        That’s when the number 0 was introduced in India.
