Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

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:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
To the reader/asker:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
