And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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):
Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
To the reader/asker:
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 :
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
