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?

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Here’s the proof :
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):
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
