    The helper() function does not return a value, so don’t try to assign it to a variable.

    So your conditional check will never evaluate as true.

    After you’ve loaded your helpers, just check if the desired function exists using exit(function_exists('randomnumber') ? 'exists' : 'nope');.

    This line is useless if ( helper('general_helper') || helper('general'))

    You do not have to check whether the helper has been loaded.
    It should be loaded, since you did it within the autoload.

    If it’s not loaded, then:

    1. Verify that the name of the helper general_helper corresponds to the name of the file. It must be Helpersgeneral_helper.php

    2. Call public $helpers = ['general_helper']; in the autoload.

    This is for CI4, as described in the official documentation.
