Writing code to do math is different from actually doing the math. I can easily write “x = 8982.2 / 98984”, but ask me what value x actually has and I’ll need to do a lot more work and quite probably get it wrong.
This is why one of the common improvements for LLM execution frameworks these days is to give them access to external tools. Essentially, give it access to a calculator.
How do reconcile that with all of the people claiming they use it to write code?

If you’re like most developers, cognitive dissonance? https://www.gitclear.com/coding_on_copilot_data_shows_ais_downward_pressure_on_code_quality>
