ARYABHATTA INVENTED ZERO. The word zero came into the
English language via French zro from zero, Italian
contraction of Venetian zevero form of
'Italian zefiro via afira or ifr. In pre-Islamic time the
word ifr (Arabic ) ]had the meaning
'empty'.[ Sifr evolved to mean zero when it was used to
translate nya (Sanskrit: ) from India.
Historically, the extension of a number system has generally been to simplify
mathematics, very often to reduce the number of cases of something that need to
be enumerated.

.For example, suppose you want to describe the paying back of a debt. If A lends B
some money and B then pays some money back to A, then the outstanding debt is
the original amount minus the amount paid back.
Zero is a number which means an amount of nill size; that is, if the number of your brothers is zero,
that means the same thing as having no brothers, and if something has a weight of zero, it has no
weight. If the difference between the numbers of pieces in two piles is zero, it means the two piles
have an equal number of pieces. Before counting starts, the result can be assumed to be zero; that is
the number of items counted before you count the first item and counting the first item brings the
result to one. And if there are no items to be counted, zero remains the final result.
The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol or an
empty space for separation is attributed to India, where, by the 9th
century AD, practical calculations were carried out using zero, which
was treated like any other number, even in case of division.[12][13]

The Indian scholar Pingala, of 2nd century BC or earlier, used binary


numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in
length to two short syllables), a notation similar to Morse code.
