Why is seqreverse command not allowed to work?

Ned Gulley on 21 Mar 2013

That function is in the Bioinformatics Toolbox (http://www.mathworks.com/help/bioinfo/ref/seqreverse.html). Cody permits only MATLAB functions.

Many commands I thought would work ,didn't .... This problem helps in understanding the limits of the commands

Rafael S.T. Vieira on 10 Jun 2020

Can every number be used to find a palindrome? I've tried 196, and it seems to run on an infinite loop.
