Documentation for java.lang.Math.pow(a, b) says that it throws an arithemtic exception for
a <= 0 and b <= 0

For pow(0, 0) it returns 1 instead. (This is OK, from a mathematical point of view,
but is not according to the spec)
This code should print "OK":

public class p {
public static void main (String[] av)
{
try
{
Math.pow(0.0, 0.0);
} catch (ArithmeticException e)
{
System.out.println("OK");
}
}
}
