Why 0 is Huckel's number but 0.5 is not a huckel's number?

It is from huckel's rule.

Well I'm not really sure what Huckel's number is, as I haven't gotten there in my studies yet; but I did read up on it a little and from what I gather it looks like they are directly related to pi bonds. If I'm not mistaken, you can't have 0.5 pi bonds. They must be whole numbers. However, like I mentioned previously, I have not dealt with Huckel's number yet so take my answer with a grain of NaCl (salt) -- Ok sorry that was a very corny joke lol

I think Huckel's series follows the Huckel's rule i.e;(4n+2) series.
here,n=0,1,2,3,4,5,........
if n=0
then the number is 2

huckel's rule in organic chemistry says that if a organic compound has 4n+2 ( pi-bonds) then it is aromatic. then tell me hoe can u have 0.5??....its not possible ok??..
