00 = 1 is what my HP calculator gets, and it seems reasonable.
x0 = 1 for all nonzero values of x.
(.0000001)0 = 1
(-.0000001)0 = 1
x0 = 1 as x approaches zero from either direction.
It would be strange for it to have some other value at zero.
In the complex plane, z0 = 1 for all nonzero values of z. This makes even even weirder for it to be nonzero at zero. Zero is surrounded in all directions by values for which z0 = 1
0 / 0 is undefined. The value depends on how you got the expression. For example consider the sin function.
sin(x) = x - x3 / 3! + x5 / 5! - x7 / 7! + . . .
From the above, sin(0) = 0 and
sin(x) / x = 1 - x2 / 3! + x4 / 5! - x6 / 7! + . . .
The above indicates that sin(x) / x = 1 for x = 0 and
2 * sin(x) / x = 2 for x = 0
The last two expressions are 0 / 0 if you merely substitute 0 for x.
I think you made a keying error in your exponential, or your calculator got confused due to ambiguity. My HP is a stack calculator, and does not evaluate algebraic expressions. I cannot key in your exponential and test it.
2^3^2 might be ambiguous. I am not sure which of the following it might be.
( 23 )2 = 64
( 2 )3^2 = 29, which is 512
I see no way to interpret it so that it evaluates to a power of 3.
