## API

### isNaturalNumber(*number*, *includeZero*)

*number*: `Number`  
*includeZero*: `Boolean`  
Return: `String`

It returns `true` if the first argument is one of the natural numbers. If not, or the argument is not a number, it returns `false`.

```javascript
isNaturalNumber(10); //=> true

isNaturalNumber(-10); //=> false
isNaturalNumber(10.5); //=> false
isNaturalNumber(Infinity); //=> false
isNaturalNumber('10'); //=> false
```

*Check [the test](./test.js) for more detailed specifications.*

#### includeZero

Default: `false`

By default the number `0` is not regarded as a natural number.

Setting this option `true` makes `0` regarded as a natural number.

```javascript
isNaturalNumber(0); //=> false
isNaturalNumber(0, true); //=> true
```
