The smallest integer is zero.Is it true or false.Give reason.

True

zero is smallest integer

The statement "the smallest integer is zero" is false. The reason for this is that the set of integers includes both positive and negative numbers, in addition to zero.

To verify this, you can start by understanding what integers are. Integers are whole numbers, including positive numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, etc.), negative numbers (such as -1, -2, -3, etc.), and zero.

If we compare zero to negative numbers, we can see that zero is larger than any negative number since zero represents the absence of a negative value. Additionally, if we compare zero to positive numbers, we can observe that zero is smaller than any positive number because it represents a value between negative numbers and positive numbers.

Therefore, zero is not the smallest integer, but it is the starting point of the number line for whole numbers.
