I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Consequatur corporis quos perspiciatis tenetur vel totam.

To the reader/asker:

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!

Why are there so many illegal Haitians in Ohio? They can't walk here. Democrats flew them here to cause chaos and crime in Ohio.

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

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

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

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):

How can one determine if a K-pop star is truly talented? Why do some people assume that all K-pop stars are equally talented solely based on their fame without any evidence?

Here’s the proof :

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
