After looking at the worksheet posted here

I think this is a bug. Its present in Mathcad and in Prime alike.

It seems to work with any function - built-in or user defined.

Mathcad should not allow the first definition.

sin(a):=100 is a user function with formal argument a and with name sin.

I think e:=4 is a bug too in this case.

OmG, of course you are right and its not a bug. Not sure where I had my mind - its late and it was a long day 😞

sin is one built-in function, e is one built-in constant
