"""Leetcode 461. Hamming Distance

URL: https://leetcode.com/problems/hamming-distance/description/

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.
