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

Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
