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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with Taylor Swift not supporting him? Why would he think she would want to support a sociopathic liar who pushes election lies in order to stay in political power?

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):
