The concept of zero (0) is one of those remarkable achievements that seems so obvious---in hindsight. All of math is that way. If you're one of the bright individuals who can figure out one or two rules in math on your own, then congratulations. But that doesn't make you as smart as someone who has been told ten or twenty more rules than you have, discovered by someone else.
Zero simply means "nothing". It's the number that comes before 1, when you haven't even started counting yet.
Zero, in decimal, is a place-holder. It says, "No tens" or "no hundreds" or even "no ones."
