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.

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Why does a narcissist act like it's nothing when they hurt you?

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

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

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

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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):

Is it possible to run away from home at 16? What are some essential items to bring for survival?

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

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:
