Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
To the reader/asker:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
What do feminists mean when they say they want to ‘normalize’ menstruation and its discussion?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
