The Hamming distance between two integers is the number of differences between the bits of the two integers. The hamdist operator finds the Hamming distance between two integers.
Example.
Input:
or:
Output:
3 |
because:
18 is written 0x12 in base 16 and 0b010010 in base 2,
56 is written 0x38 in base 16 and 0b111000 in base 2,
hamdist(18,56) is equal to 1+0+1+0+1+0 and so is equal to 3.
