You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :
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):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

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 //):
To the reader/asker:
Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
