    I have been taught and everyone around me accepts that Natural numbers start from 1 and Whole numbers start from 0

      Oh no, are we calling non-negative integers “whole numbers” now? There are proposals to change bad naming in mathematics, but I hope this is not one of them.

      On the other hand, changing integer to whole number makes perfect sense.
