Learning Scientific Programming with Python (2nd edition)
P4.1.3: Raising an exception on $0^0$
Question P4.1.3
Python follows the covention of many computer languages in choosing to define $0^0=1$. Write a function, powr(a, b)
which behaves the same as the Python expression a**b
(or, for that matter, math.pow(a,b)
) but raises a ValueError
if a
and b
are both zero.
