If you don't like it, then I suggest you use a programatic way around it (easily done), or drop the whole calculation, and fiddle with something else..
Thats almost exactly what I said to him at least 10 messages ago, he is obviously not listening.
I did it before put this thread
Ha! those calculators which shows 0 or 1 when do 0^0 simply are lier calculators. Trust me
Fortunately well done calculators do it how must be done, and display indeterminated as result. And still better done calculators, as i said above should allow to choose a result for that kind of operations. Ix86 based CPUs don't allow to choose.
oaky time to apologize!
my calc returns "Domain Error"... so i guess i just raised 1^0 instead of 0^0.
okay time to give you right, maybe, as 2 pro calc returns Domain error..
well sorry for my mistake..!
edit: @berico, we probaly have but somehow we are addicted to this thread

I think it's correct if we're talking about the same function. I should have added that the integer part i meant was rounded down so that [-0.4]=-1, i.e. x = [x] + some value between 0 and 1. Then the graph of x-[x] looks like:
So you can see what is happening. As we approach x=0 from below the function x-[x] approaches 1. As we approach x=0 from above x-[x] approaches 0.
@psychophanta: I seldomly have seen such a impolite behaviour in here, all those and "you can't be more than 11 years old" and the like.
It's hard to believe you're any older or wiser Though one thing is sure, you've chosen your alias name advisedly.
I am bewildered that there are 5 pages of argument about this, mathmatical convention is that any number to the power of 0 is 1. This is accepted by mathematicians all over the world, end of argument!
