And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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 :
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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 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):
