And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
How can I be the smartest human on Earth?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

To the reader/asker:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
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:
