Answer 2

0 is not a natural number but it is in \(\mathbb N\)

Answer 3

There is no universal agreement about whether to include zero in the set of natural numbers: some define the natural numbers to be the positive integers {1, 2, 3, ...}, while for others the term designates the non-negative integers {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}. The former definition is the traditional one, with the latter definition having first appeared in the 19th century. Some authors use the term natural number to exclude 0 and whole number to include it; others use whole number in a way that includes both 0 and the negative integers, i.e., as an equivalent of the integer term.

They start from 1 because until and unless you're a retard, you won't be counting the candies from 0. So natural numbers are 1 to infinite.
Whereas Whole nos start from 0 to infinite. Therefore 0 is a whole number :)
