And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Here’s the proof :
'Cosmic miracle!' James Webb Space Telescope discovers the earliest galaxy ever seen - Yahoo
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
What are the most important skills a fine artist should develop in today's art world?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
To the reader/asker:
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:
Is modular building a fix for NY's housing crisis? State officials hope so. - Gothamist
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
How do you view men and women who cheat?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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):
