And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

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:
