The reason I ask is because they say the number zero is a number.

If it is the "number" zero, then it's a number.

Think of it this way, there ARE ten digits 0-9 but that does not mean 9=10 obviously. its the same as if you were to count the number of numerals between -1 and 9... it would be 11.
Also they can call 0 a number all they want but in reality its really more like calling black a color when referring to light... it really represents an abscence of value just as the color black when using light represents the abscence of light. Zero represents the abscence of value... personally I dont understand why it is considered a number. You dont need it, -1 means one less 1 means one more, 0 simply is no change and is not really a value at all.

0 to 9 is ten, as is 10 to 19 or 20 to 29, etc.

The set of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 has a total of ten numbers in the set. 0 through 10 would have eleven numbers.

0-9 is ten digits, but if the numbers are standing for actual objects then 0 can't be shown as anything because it means nothing is there, in which case it would be nine.

korn, you need to re-think this.
The number 0 is the center of the number line and has the same validity as any other integer on the line.
It is also incredibly useful as a place holder for numbers like 10, 300, 2045 etc.
To call it a non-number is to ignore reality.

0 to 9 is 9 o'clock and not 10 o'clock.
