Can "zero" be integrated ?

When a constant value is differentiated, we obtain zero.

and since integration is just the reverse of differentiation, then can zero be integrated ?

    Integration of Zero would be Zero. Because zero leaves 'nothing' to be integrated. 😨

    This a case of definite and indefinite integrals. See here for a full explanation:

    Well i think biggie made his point.

    Now if zero could be integrated , and a particular constant value could be obtained, then what exactly would the value be ?

    That is exactly what was discussed in the link given. The indefinite integral = 0 + C, where C can be any constant. However, when you try to evaluate a definite integral between two limits, C gets cancelled leaving zero as K said.

    The explaination on the link says it all!

    0 + c..! so a constant is left behind...! if sufficient condition is given u can find the specific "c" but in general it is C..!(oly if u integrate without any definite limits else 0)

    Since the integral of zero would be a value whose differentiation with respect to the dependent variable is zero, it is quite clear that the integral exists and is any (or rather more appropriately, every) constant in nature.
