Problem 823. Find similar/related functions
The help function can be useful for getting quick assistance on a particular function. For most built-in MATLAB functions, a portion of the help text lists similar or related functions ("See also ...").
Given a function name (string), return a cell array of the "See also" functions provided in the help text. If the input is not a real function or if no similar/related functions exist, return an empty cell array. The output should be all lowercase and in the order shown in the help text.
Examples
seeAlso('sum') = {'prod','cumsum','diff','accumarray','isfloat'}
seeAlso('fake') = {};

Test suite has been updated and solutions rescored. My apologies for the inconvenience.

The test suite is outdated. The lookfor command no longer appears at the See-also section of the help command, and the See-also section of the command which has way more functions than listed in the test suite (MATLAB version R2020a).
