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

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 ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Man thought he was 'tired from work' before brain tumour diagnosis - BBC
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
