Compute the Hamming Distance Between Two Strings solved by 2697

We say that position i in k-mers p₁ … p_k and q₁ … q_k is a mismatch if p_i ≠ q_i. For example, CGAAT and CGGAC have two mismatches. The number of mismatches between strings p and q is called the Hamming distance between these strings and is denoted HammingDistance(p, q).
