i to the ith power



Why when I take (a)  sqroot(-1) ^sqroot(-1) or (b) i ^ sqroot(-1) or (c)
sqroot(-1)^i  the ti-83 gives an undefined response (specifically an error
message) but when I try i^i  it gives back .2078795764

How does the ti-83 handle an imaginary raised to an imaginary power?

Thanks
