You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman hospitalized after drug overdose: report - Page Six
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Here’s the proof :
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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:
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):
The FC Bayern squad for the Club World Cup - FC Bayern Munich

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
