Since the argument of 00 requires a well-defined direction for a vector of zero length, which does not exist, arg⁡(0)\arg(0) is undefined.

  1. For a nonzero complex number z=x+iy≠0z=x+iy\ne0, the argument θ=arg⁡(z)\theta=\arg(z) is the angle made by the vector (x,y)(x,y) with the positive real axis, found from x=rcos⁡θx=r\cos\theta, y=rsin⁡θy=r\sin\theta where r=∣z∣=x2+y2>0r=|z|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}>0.
  2. For z=0z=0, we have x=0, y=0x=0,\ y=0, so r=∣z∣=0r=|z|=0.
  3. The equations 0=0⋅cos⁡θ0=0\cdot\cos\theta and 0=0⋅sin⁡θ0=0\cdot\sin\theta are satisfied by EVERY value of θ\theta, since both sides are 00 regardless of θ\theta. …
