Definition
How many changes needed for two Strings or Bytes be same
Example
Hamming Distance of 1011 and 0111 is 2
If you change 2 bits on 1011, it will be 0111.
1011 -> 0011->0111
Hamming Distance of acddf and bcdxy is 3
If you change 3 characters on acddf , it will be bcdxy.
acddf ->bcddf ->bcdxf->bcdxy
Usage
- check error in computer science: server received same bits from client
- quantum computing
