You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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):
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?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Here’s the proof :
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Who are the most underrated and under-appreciated Hollywood actors/actresses?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
What do you do when you are struggling to fall asleep?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
