Solution: Hamming Distance

Explore how to find the Hamming distance between two integers by using XOR to identify differing bits and Brian Kernighan's algorithm to count set bits efficiently. Understand the solution's time and space complexity and apply this bitwise manipulation technique to related computational problems.

Statement

The Hamming distance between two integers is defined as the number of bit positions where the corresponding bits of the two numbers differ.

Given two integers x and y, your task is to find and return the Hamming distance between them.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq x, y 2311\leq 2^{31} - 1 ...
