Wikipedia says 0^0 is commonly 1 in algebra and combinatorics, which I have more experience in. It is often undefined in computer science contexts. I was unaware of this, so thank you.

The more I learn, the more I realize there is no one universal math, only different rules which are helpful in different contexts. Thanks for bringing this point up.
