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 😆
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
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".
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
