Palindromes
Palindromes are achiral words, such as:
- nun
- madam
- pop
Or achiral phrases (once spaces and punctuation are removed, by convention) such as these famous examples:
- Nurses, run!
- Madam, I'm Adam!
- A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!
Or achiral sequences, such as a palindromic gene segment:
- GATTATATTAG
Or numbers:
- 123454321
Try this one out...
- 11 x 11 = 121
- 111 x 111 = 12321
- 1,111 x 1,111 = 1234321
- 111,111,111 x 111,111,111=12345678987654321
(...what happens when we get past a nine digit number?)
This is not a palindrome:
((()))
But this is:
((((((
And this is:
(())((
Which makes me:
:( non (:
