If you are asking about mathematic stright definition:

negative integer: -inf,...,-1
positive integer: 1,...,inf
natural: 0,...,inf

The group of natural numbers includes the positive integers and zero.
That is the definition in most places in the world; however, in the
United States and a few more countries, non-negative integers is how
the lot is called.
