Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
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):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
What is the reason behind some people wearing trunks instead of speedos when swimming in pools?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
