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

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?

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