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.
How are max different from medical and minimum security prisons?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Here’s the proof :
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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 let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
