Let us substitute: ( - x, ) - y
Thus ()() becomes xyxy
())( becomes xyyx
Now clearly it can be seen, even while high, that the second one is and the first isn’topen close open close
open close close open
Why would you do this to me 😭
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.)
This is an unacceptable glitch in the universe.
It’s time to reboot it with a patch.
Best palindrome I ever come across is boob. I heard Jimmy Carr say it, but he could be repeating somebody else’s joke.
dood
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
for those too lazy to google,
palindrome /păl′ĭn-drōm″/ noun A word, verse, or sentence, that is the same when read backward or forward. “madam; Hannah; or Lewd did I live, & evil I did dwel.”() () backwards is )( )(
() )( backwards is () )(Thank you for letting me hate it as well.
“()()” 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?!
That’s horrible and horrifying and I’m never gonna sleep again and also I hate you :(

This is especially terrible when lying in bed. With a keyboard or pen and paper you can make sense of it, it hurts my brain a bit to visualize it though.
Fucking.
A palindrome is about symbols. Not the visual representation of those symbols.
