So I have an operator X, which acts on a state.
I was wondering what I can conclude about the state if it is an eigenstate of X^2 and not eigenstate of X.
So far.. I think is that there is no such state, but I have no clear explanation

It will have a definite value of x^2, (say 9), but not x, (say it could be +3 or -3).
