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

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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?
