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 ๐Ÿ˜†

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".
