Say I have two positive numbers a and b. How many bits must be inverted in order to convert a into b ?
I just want the count and not the exact position of the differing bits.
Lets assume a = 10 ( 1010 ) and b = 8 ( 1000 ). In this case the number of bits that should be inverted equals 1.
Any generalised algorithm?
The solution is simple
Done!
