Zero is an even number. In other words, its parity—the quality of an integer being even or odd—is even \text{Zero is an even number. In other words, its parity—the quality of an integer being even or odd—is even}

The simplest way to prove that

zero is even is to check that it fits the definition of "even": it is an integer multiple of 2, specifically 0 × 2.

Only Natural Numbers can be Odd or Even. Since 0 is not a Natural Number, it cannot be considered as either Odd or Even.

Zero has always been considered a nuetral number, and is not even or odd, nor positive or negative. I'm reporting this problem

zero actually means "nothing". hence it can neither be even nor odd as it is nothing
