Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Could Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ kill the OFR and accidentally sabotage SOFR? - Financial Times
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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):
Here’s the proof :
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:
When the mind leaves the body - scientists investigate the incredible phenomenon of OBEs - Earth.com
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
