You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Re——-aaaaalllllly.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
All international travelers should get measles vaccinations, CDC says - AP News
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
Do you like wearing short skirts?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):
