461 Hamming Distance

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

Given two integersxandy, calculate the Hamming distance.

Note: 0 ≤x,y< 231.

Example:

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.

这题其实就是求以后以后有多少位是1.

public int hammingDistance(int x, int y) {
    int cnt = 0;
    for (int c = x ^ y; c != 0; c = c & (c - 1)) {
        cnt++;
    }

    return cnt;
}
