And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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 //):
Here’s the proof :
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:
To the reader/asker:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What makes you feel guilty the most?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
