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

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

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

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

Scientists discover giant underground sponge capable of supplying water to rivers and cities - Earth.com

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:

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Utah doctors see promising results from new radiation therapy for brain tumors - KSLTV.com

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

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?

Ananda Lewis chose 'natural' cancer care over conventional treatment. Many others do too -- and it's risky - ABC News

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Here’s the proof :

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:
