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 use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
How can I showcase AI usage, like OpenAI or Claude AI, in my job application process?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
To the reader/asker:
Which sunscreen shall we use to apply on oily skin?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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!
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:

Here’s the proof :
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
