>Zero to the power of zero, denoted by 0^0, is a mathematical expression with no agreed-upon value. The most common possibilities are 1 or leaving the expression undefined, with justifications existing for each, depending on context. In algebra and combinatorics, the generally agreed upon value is 0^0 = 1, whereas in mathematical analysis, the expression is sometimes left undefined. Computer programs also have differing ways of handling this expression.
