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):
Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
