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

To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
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.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Here’s the proof :
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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 //):
Is it possible to achieve spiritual enlightenment while being in a romantic relationship?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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):
