To the reader/asker:
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):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Here’s the proof :
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
