Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
