State

The zero-power error answers a⁰ with 0; the value is 1 for every nonzero base.

Show

7⁰ = 1, not 0. Zero factors of 7 leave the multiplicative identity standing, not the additive one — an empty product is 1.

Watch for

0⁰ is left undefined here.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
