A completely unnecessary Python project that explores dozens of ways to prove, confirm, calculate, deduce, or spiritually interpret whether zero equals zero.

Why?
Because I was bored. And I like stupid ideas.

Sure, you could just write 0 == 0,
but where's the fun in that?

This repo is a growing collection of unreasonably complicated ways to check if 0 == 0.
Yes, the answer is always True. No, that won't stop us.

• Using math.acos and cos to confirm 0
• Shuffling a list with just one zero in it
• Comparing the memory size of zero with itself
• Counting the length of an empty string
• Using recursion for no reason
• Rounding the sine of π
• Reading "0" from a formatted string and feeling proud

Wanna make this dumber? You're welcome here.

All you have to do is:

1. Add a new function to is_zero_zero.py that returns True (because zero is zero).
2. Make it as cursed, overengineered, or unnecessarily clever as you want.
3. Bonus points if your logic makes someone question reality.
4. Open a pull request.

Examples:

def is_zero_using_quantum_mechanics():
 # Replace with 12 lines of nonsense
 return True

Please do not write smart or clean code. We don’t do that here.

python is_zero_zero.py

You'll see a bunch of checks that all (somehow) confirm that 0 is indeed 0.

Because the internet needs more weird stuff.
Because overengineering is a sport.
Because someone once made a repo called is_even that checks if a number is even — with one if condition per number — and I felt challenged.

MIT — because chaos should be free.
