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):

To the reader/asker:

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

When will the new normal in the global economy return, following the panic caused by US President Donald Trump's tariff flip-flops?

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 presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

What do you think of Donald Trump doing a Tesla infomercial today for Elon Musk—his biggest political donor—in front of the White House?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
