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):
Here’s the proof :
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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?
Which is the best AI app for house plan making?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Study suggests women in Pakistan need greater access to information on parthenium weed - Phys.org
To the reader/asker:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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:
