SUMMARY
The return value of the pow() function, which computes the value of x
raised to the y power, is not documented in the case of pow(0,0). In
this case, the pow() function returns 1.
MORE INFORMATION
The behavior of pow(0,0) conforms to the proposed NCEG (Numerical C
Extensions Group) standard. See NCEG draft 92-014, F.4.3 for more
information. The documents were corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version
4.0.
