It's easy to understand, when you turn the brackets into readable characters.
o for opening bracket (
c for closing bracket )
So ()() would be ococ, which is coco backwards and clearly not a palindrome.
())( would be occo, which is a palindrome.
The brackets example is the one I use to drill into people's heads that it has nothing to do with visual symmetry
I guess to make it more relatable it could be better as
db db // db bd
My brain defaulted to assuming it was a programming reference
Meanwhile in my brain:
))<>((
back and forth.... forever
In my brain, "first one looks like boobs ๐"
Unintentional Goatse?
thanks, satan.
