Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
To the reader/asker:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
How do you help patients stop hearing voices?
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):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:

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.
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 :
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Why did the Soviet Jews hate the Soviet Union?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
