Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
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):

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.
To the reader/asker:
Could supermassive black holes anchor the tiniest galaxies? - Big Think
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Instead of worrying about your weight, focus on avoiding fragility - CNN
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
