You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Do you believe that it is right that one Federal judge can block a President's decisions?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Here’s the proof :

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
