You can easily do this one on your own.

-- Pick up a pencil and find a piece of paper.

-- Multiply ' 1 ' by itself, two or three or ten or a million times.

That means like (1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 . . .). What do you get ?


-- Multiply 'zero' by itself, two or three or ten or a million times.

That means like (0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 . . . . . ). What do you get ?
