Richard: I believe there are a couple of inconsistencies in the test cases.

- You mention in the problem statement that the 'alphabetized built-in' functions should follow 'alphabetized' functions. However, 'log10' (not built-in) appears before 'log2' (built-in).

- 'i' is also a built-in function. 'which i' indicates that.

Venu Lolla on 6 Jun 2012

'i' in test case 2 is also 'built-in'

Aurelien Queffurust on 17 Jul 2012

I agree , exist('i') return 5 .

Richard Zapor on 18 Jul 2012

I changed hte "i" to "k".
Even though "i" was being used as a variable and not in its capacity as a built-in function.

In what order the names of the function are sorted?
(Thanks for the useful tags.)

Jakeb Chouinard on 9 Dec 2020

The functions are sorted alphabetically and by type.
Ex. [built_in_alphabetical, toolkit_alphabetical]

IMHO, this question makes no sense,
Other methods can be used to examine the exist function. The test sample for this subject is boring.
