I can’t be the only one who has no issue seeing this right? It’s very obvious which is a palindrome and which isn’t.

istoff ,

I was like you earlier. It will hit you.

Palindromes? Haha right guys so funny

Totally not feeling inadequate as a vs graduate again. How bout them FAANGS, haha Arch

expr ,

It’s not complicated at all: 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).

Melvin_Ferd ,

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 😆

expr ,

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.

This has ruined my day.

thisfro ,

It looks very weird, but if you put it like abab vs abba, it makes more sense

Wilzax ,

bdbd is not a palindrome but bddb is

Klear ,

I hate it

lugal ,

This is much easier to parse for me than the one in the post. Interesting. I guess letters are easier to abstract

30p87 ,

Yes, baddragonbaddragon is, in fact, not a palindrome.

intensely_human ,

bddb is my favorite word to pronounce

I think you just hacked my modem

ninja ,

do you have to say it while flipping your finger up and down over your lips?

RecluseRamble ,

Multiple very pleasant ways to it, too:

bi, di, di, bi

bi, double-di, bi

houndeyes ,

Is it pronounced like that Super Troopers Porsche song? https://media1.tenor.com/m/22Q5hBvFOxIAAAAC/super-troopers-feather.gif

Calm down, everyone. Brackets form a tree structure, and can be represented by a free magma, while strings with concatenation are equivalent to a free monoid. You’re essentially asking for the two respective common unipotent operations to be connected by this map, just because they’re unipotent, which put that way is a wild guess at best. In fact, reversing this string produces something outside the range of the map entirely, which is injective and so can’t be surjective for combinatoric reasons.

… Yeah I might be the only person that finds that useful.

    Best palindrome I ever come across is boob. I heard Jimmy Carr say it, but he could be repeating somebody else’s joke.

    istoff ,

    Had to take a break and come back later before it made sense.

    Why would you do this to me 😭

    cRazi_man ,

    What about ))-((

    xeekei ,

    The reverse would be ((-))

    Micromot ,

    Wouldn’t it be ()-)( as a palindrome?

    lugal ,

    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

    Micromot ,

    Yeah I realized

    “()()” is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as “visual palindromes”, for whatever that’s worth.

    Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…
