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

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:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
What are the downsides of OpenAI's chain-of-thought approach in the o1 model?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
