Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Big crowds gather in Hungarian capital to defy ban on Budapest Pride - CNN
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):

To the reader/asker:
She Spotted a Detail in a Photo and Knew Immediately—Her Marriage Was Over - Jason Deegan
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
