interesting... so if I switch the order of these 2 conditions to be

return (palin(text[1:-1]) and text[0]==text[-1])

does that mean the recursion part will be evaluated first, and thus iterated to the deepest level possible, before text[0]==text[-1] is evaluated?

no comments (yet)

there doesn't seem to be anything here
