Original question and givens

N includes 0. lo=5, hi=4. Find |{n∈N: lo≤n≤hi}|, including endpoints.

  • G001 — N includes 0. lo=5, hi=4. Find |{n∈N: lo≤n≤hi}|, including endpoints.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

N={0,1,2,...}

After

0 belongs;negative and nonintegral rational values do not

Conditions: none

This convention includes0 in N;distinguish membership,rational values,partial predecessors and closed intervals.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: natural_zero_convention · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

lo=5;hi=4

After

natural interval size=0

Conditions: none

If the upper endpoint is below the lower,the set is empty with size0;do not swap endpoints to manufacture another set.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: ordered_natural_interval_boundary · Uses: G001, S001

Reverse checks

  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

0

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
