Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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 :
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Sit non et voluptatem consequatur possimus corporis omnis eaque.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

To the reader/asker:
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):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Why did the USA stick their noses in Ukraine's business? They wanted to be neutral for so long.
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.
