To evaluate the expression $$ -4^{0} $$, follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. **Exponents/Orders**: Calculate $$ 4^{0} $$.
   
   Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore:
   $$
   4^{0} = 1
   $$

2. **Negation**: Apply the negative sign to the result of the exponentiation.
   $$
   -4^{0} = -1
   $$

So, the evaluated expression is:

$$
-4^{0} = \boxed{-1}
$$
$$-4^{0} = -1$$.

Evaluate the given exponential expression. \( -4^{0} \) \( -4^{0}=\square \)
