Loops are not allowed.

Test suit # 4 should not compare out = [] with output of the function but rather isempty(out) !!!

Christian Schröder on 21 Oct 2022

Two requests:

1. Please don't add intentional infinite loops to the test suite.
2. Please take more care when scanning for forbidden keywords. "x(grouptransform(x', x', @numel) > 1)" would be a perfectly good solution, but fails the test suite because "grouptransform" contains the letters "for".

Thanks.

Test suite has been updated -

The infinite loop has been cleared out, scanning for 'for' loop has been modified and empty sets will now be verified using isempty().
