It looks very weird, but if you put it like abab vs abba, it makes more sense
bdbd is not a palindrome but bddb is
I hate it
Yes, baddragonbaddragon is, in fact, not a palindrome.
Username checks out.
This is much easier to parse for me than the one in the post. Interesting. I guess letters are easier to abstract
"()()" is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as "visual palindromes", for whatever that's worth.
WIKIPEDIA CAN SHOW GIFS?!
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.
This is an unacceptable glitch in the universe.
It's time to reboot it with a patch.
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’t
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 () )(
this took me a while but after converting to ascii in hex I get it
"())(" = 40 41 41 40
"()()" = 40 41 40 41
As long your strings aren't null terminated

What kind of monstrous bug prone language would do that?
What about ⊂((・▽・))⊃

Why would you do this to me 😭
Oh god, please no 😄
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 involutory operations to be connected by this map, just because they're involutory, 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 combinatorical reasons.
... Yeah I might be the only person that finds that useful.
That's horrible and horrifying and I'm never gonna sleep again and also I hate you :(
I'm not saying I was having a good day before, but this made it that lil bit worse.
Had to take a break and come back later before it made sense.
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.)
Best palindrome I ever come across is boob. I heard Jimmy Carr say it, but he could be repeating somebody else's joke.
dood
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
Wild stuff.
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).
A palindrome is about symbols. Not the visual representation of those symbols.
fuck that was unexpected
Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn't even want it to...
Okay, but yes it is if you aren't being extremely technical and pedantic.
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.
