Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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 :
What pet would you strongly not recommend?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
To the reader/asker:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Why are the Chinese so sensitive to Western criticism?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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!
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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.
