Well, line 1 declares, so to speak, a variable called n and initializes its value to zero.

This just means that at the beginning of our algorithm, the thing with which we're counting has a value of zero.

So, what the pseudocode is saying is that after starting at zero, for each person in the room, we'll increase n by 1. Now, is this algorithm correct?

In line 1, we initialize n to zero.

For each of these two people, we then increment n by 1. So, in the first trip through the loop, we update n from zero to 1, on the second trip through that same loop, we update n from 1 to 2. And so, by this algorithm's end, n is 2, which indeed matches the number of people in the room.

Suppose that there are zero people in the room, besides me, who's doing the counting.

In line 1, we again initialize n to zero.

This time, though, line 3 doesn't execute at all since there isn't a person in the room, and so, n remains zero, which indeed matches the number of people in the room.

Let n equal zero.

Suppose next that there are zero people in the room.

As before, line 3 doesn't execute at all since there aren't any pairs of people in the room, and so, n remains zero, which indeed matches the number of people in the room.

When the girl at rest, velocity equals zero miles per hour, begins accelerating to reach the speed within seconds, velocity increases rapidly to 25,000 miles per hour, her brain would crash into the side of her skull.

And, when she stops suddenly, velocity decreases rapidly back to zero miles per hour, her brain would crash into the other side of her skull, turning her brain into mush.

Astronauts move around in shuttles in zero gravity when they're in outer space by pulling on handles installed on the ceiling walls and floors of the shuttle.

It should either be off, so that it has a zero value everywhere in space, or it should be on so it has an absolutely enormous value.

In reality, the Higgs field is just slightly on, not zero but 10,000 trillion times weaker than its fully on value, a bit like a light switch that's got stuck just before the off position.

Past a certain distance from the nucleus, the probability of finding an electron starts to decrease more or less exponentially, which means that while it will approach zero, it'll never actually hit zero.

Your speed is zero relative to your easy chair.

Why would it be an egg?" "It's usually an egg." "What can I hold in my hand, but has zero area?" "Is it a dodo egg?" "It's not an egg!"

After an infinite number of cuts, I was satisfied that my triangle had zero area.

A bounded shape with zero area.

Pain has an intensity; you can describe it on a scale from zero, no pain, to ten, the most pain imaginable.

For instance, even a few cumulus clouds in front of the sun can reduce the electricity production in solar towers to almost zero because of this dependence on direct rays.

Earth emits infrared radiation because every object with a temperature above absolute zero will emit light.

We can represent this by a graph showing the probability of finding the object at a particular place, which looks like a spike, 100% at one specific position, and zero everywhere else.

All of them thought our chances of winning a gene-patent challenge were about zero.

We felt pretty confident leaving the courtroom that day, but I could never have anticipated the outcome: nine to zero.

Limitless pleasure minus zero pain equals maximum net pleasure, or in other words, the exact scenario the Experience Machine offers.

Either way, you'd eventually reach a point where the marginal utility for buying another movie ticket became zero.
