    Zero
In summary, the question of what 0 raised to itself is has no definite answer. In Boolean and Fuzzy logic, it is considered unknown because any base value is a cardinal number greater than or equal to 0. However, in non-Boolean logic, it can be defined as 1 if the base value is a singleton or non-localized object. Some attempts have been made to solve the indeterminacy, but it ultimately depends on the rate at which the base value approaches 0.

I think (hope) he meant -(2^2).

Don't forget PEMDAS...
