You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

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 //):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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 there a possibility of call centres returning from outsourcing or offshoring in the future?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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?
