You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
To the reader/asker:
What are the methods used for preserving rice straw in China?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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):
Do countries with free health care generally have co-pays or deductibles to discourage use?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
What are the bitter truths of life one should know?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Here’s the proof :
