would it be nice at least to correct the 0^0 issue

There are times that I wished 0^0 were defined as 1, but I don't think I would describe the issue as needing "correcting" as the Prime's behavior is in line with generally accepted practices.

The linked article describes the 0^0 issue as a deal-breaker for the HP Prime. This makes me wonder what calculator he would be willing to buy. Are there any current calculators that use 0^0=1 ?

The hp 48/49/50 made 0.^0.=1. but 0^0 was undefined.

I like the 48-series way!
HP Prime CAS has on the CAS Settings page 1
Exact [ ]
but it seems have no effect on the 0.^0. handling
Perhaps the HOME Settings page 1 could benefit on a separate

Default [ ] Complex [ (a,b) ] [ ]
Setting which is similar to DEFAULT OFF in the 71B & undef (or NaN or ? or ...)

Default [V] Complex [ (a,b) ] [ ]
would then give for this problem the desired numeric value of 1.

Note that currently on the Prime both approx(oo - oo) and approx(oo^0) give undef
