Let’s say i have this bit field value: 10101001
How would i test if any other value differs in any n bits. Without considering
the positions?
Example:
10101001
10101011 --> 1 bit different
10101001
10111001 --> 1 bit different
10101001
01101001 --> 2 bits different
10101001
00101011 --> 2 bits different
I need to make a lot of this comparisons so i’m primarily looking for perfomance but any
hint is very welcome.
Take the XOR of the two fields and do a population count of the result.
