What about ))-((
The reverse would be ((-))
Wouldn’t it be ()-)( as a palindrome?
That’s a palindrome because the reverse is the same. The comment above you shows that the one above isn’t a palindrome since the reverse is different, not showing a palindrome
Yeah I realized
It looks very weird, but if you put it like abab vs abba, it makes more sense
mamma mia
bdbd is not a palindrome but bddb is
This is much easier to parse for me than the one in the post. Interesting. I guess letters are easier to abstract
I hate it
Yes, baddragonbaddragon is, in fact, not a palindrome.
:3
Username checks out.
bddb is my favorite word to pronounce
I think you just hacked my modem
Is it pronounced like that Super Troopers Porsche song?
do you have to say it while flipping your finger up and down over your lips?
Maijin bddb
This is an unacceptable glitch in the universe.
It’s time to reboot it with a patch.
Oh god, please no 😄

I’m not saying I was having a good day before, but this made it that lil bit worse.
That’s horrible and horrifying and I’m never gonna sleep again and also I hate you :(
Palindromes? Haha right guys so funny
Totally not feeling inadequate as a vs graduate again. How bout them FAANGS, haha Arch
It’s not complicated at all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome. Not really something that’s education-specific, in this instance (though I suppose it’s commonly used in entry-level programming classes since it’s a simple concept).
Yea but I’m just generally dumb in a pool of smart people. Not like I’m using palindromes in everyday conversation so when I see it I gotta look it up. Like when I saw a Fibonacci sequence and mentioned that it looks like something I’ve seen before but couldn’t remember where. This doesn’t even touch on why the syntax mentioned is a palindrome 😆
All it means is if you were to reverse the order of the characters, you’d get the same string you started with. So “dog” isn’t a palindrome because when you reverse it, you get “god”. “dog god” is a palindrome, though, because if you read it backwards, it’s also “dog god”.
Nobody uses palindromes in everyday conversation.
They are only useful as nerd jokes, interesting math facts (with no real world application), and stupid leetcode algorithms (with no real world application).
Nearly everybody here knows about them because nearly everybody here is exposed to lots of instances of those 3 categories. You could be feeling out of the loop, but you shouldn’t at all get impostor syndrome from it.
That’s actually a great response and just wanted to let you know I appreciate it. I’m actually pretty good with where I’m at and just joking around but your messages made me feel good and I wanted to let you know that and I appreciated it
Do you even nerd bro? I bet you have sex too.
Only Arch in my day is the one in my girlfriend’s back as I crank my hog to old Superbowls on VHS bro
Thank you for letting me hate it as well.
Yes it does bother me a little that the letters in the latter half of my username can’t be written backwards. (Well, some can, and the p can become a q, but then it’s not a p any more.)
Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…
“()()” is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as “visual palindromes”, for whatever that’s worth.
I love that the word ambigram can be made to look as an ambigram whereas palindrome - wtf, could have done so much better with naming that guys.
hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (Fear of long words) was clearly not defined by anyone suffering from the phobia either.
Well that’s just mean.
WIKIPEDIA CAN SHOW GIFS?!
Oh boy, they have some good ones. You’ve been missing out.
Why would you do this to me 😭
Wild stuff.
Had to take a break and come back later before it made sense.
