How would I set an objective to 0 in 1.11

Question

How would I set an objective to 0 using the scoreboard command if it is possible?

My command so far is:

/scoreboard objectives

But when I press tab after that it shows a list of what could be there, saying "add, list, remove, setdisplay" but it doesn't say set.

I know I have done this in one of my other maps but they were in 1.8 and I'm using 1.11 now.

You are confusing objectives and players. A scoreboard is not a value, or a variable. It cannot store a number. What you really want to do is set the value of a player on the scoreboard.

/scoreboard players set [player] [objective] [value]

For example:

/scoreboard players set @p locations 1
