461 hamming distance

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

Given two integers x and y, calculate the Hamming distance.

Note:
0 ≤ x, y < 231.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
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.

思路

这道题是非常简单的。把两个数按位异或,统计结果中bit当中1的个数即可。
