You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
What are the new technological advancements we should adopt?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

To the reader/asker:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Here’s the proof :
What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
What are some innovative business ideas for leveraging AI in 2024?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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):
