461. Hamming Distance

Description

The Hamming distance between two integers is the number of positions at which the corresponding bits are different.

Given two integers x and y, return the Hamming distance between them.

 

Example 1:

 Input: x = 1, y = 4 Output: 2 Explanation: 1 (0 0 0 1) 4 (0 1 0 0) ↑ ↑ The above arrows point to positions where the corresponding bits are different. 

Example 2:

 Input: x = 3, y = 1 Output: 1 

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= x, y <= 231 - 1

Solutions

Use xor operation to find different bits.

  • 0 ^ 0 = 0
  • 1 ^ 1 = 0
  • 0 ^ 1 = 1
  • 1 ^ 0 = 1
  • class Solution { public int hammingDistance(int x, int y) { return Integer.bitCount(x ^ y); } } 
  • class Solution { public: int hammingDistance(int x, int y) { return __builtin_popcount(x ^ y); } }; 
  • class Solution: def hammingDistance(self, x: int, y: int) -> int: return (x ^ y).bit_count() 
  • func hammingDistance(x int, y int) int { return bits.OnesCount(uint(x ^ y)) } 
  • function hammingDistance(x: number, y: number): number { x ^= y; let ans = 0; while (x) { x -= x & -x; ++ans; } return ans; } 
  • /** * @param {number} x * @param {number} y * @return {number} */ var hammingDistance = function (x, y) { x ^= y; let ans = 0; while (x) { x -= x & -x; ++ans; } return ans; };
