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:
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.
汉明距离。题意是给两个数字,请你求他们之间的hamming distance。hamming distance的定义是两个数字转化成二进制之后,有多少位数字是不同的。比如题目中的例子,1和4有两位数字不同,所以返回2。
思路是首先做XOR运算,然后计算XOR的结果里有多少个1。因为XOR是同位置上的数字,相同为0,不同为1。
时间O(1) - 只有最多32次计算
空间O(1)
Java实现
1 class Solution { 2 public int hammingDistance(int x, int y) { 3 int n = x ^ y; 4 int count = 0; 5 while (n != 0) { 6 count++; 7 n = n & (n - 1); 8 } 9 return count; 10 } 11 }
