I'm just not yet sure if this is a good thig, or a bad thing???

jaja.

A few days ago a nephew asked me for my HP 50g calculator.

After using it, he told me that 0 ^ 0 was equal to 1.

I remembered my calculus classes (especially limits on the hopital method) that 0 ^ 0 was indeterminate. And yes, in approximate mode it gives 1, and in exact mode it gives indeterminate (strange, right?).

Check my other calculators, for the same calculation: hp 17 bII, casio 570 ES 2nd edition, hp 10bII+: undetermined. Hp 48G and hp 50g , equal to 1

The HP 48 and 50 are tremendous monsters, but one should never trust the machines 100%. ha ha ha
