And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
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):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
