As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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.
Do Republicans give permission to Democrats to vote for any candidate except for Kamala Harris?
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:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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):
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

‘Squid Game’ Finale Recap, Season 3, Ep. 6: ‘Humans Are…’ - Vulture
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Here’s the proof :
Taylor Swift Won Her Biggest Battle - The Ringer
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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.
