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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Consequuntur dolor explicabo ipsa autem vel eos et.
Here’s the proof :
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:
As an atheist don't you really feel fear for committing sins which are not violating national laws?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
