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

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
To the reader/asker:
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

The world needs the United States, but the USA doesn't need the world. Is this true?
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:
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):
