Hamming Distance

Compare two DNA strings position by position and count the differences.

Compare two DNA strings position by position and count the differences. Only characters at the same position are compared; do not insert, delete, or shift characters. No biology knowledge is needed.

Implement hamming_distance(first, second).

Input

first: The first DNA string.

second: The equal-length second DNA string.

Output

Return the number of positions with different characters.

Contraintes

Both strings have the same length, from 0 to 100,000. Characters are uppercase A, C, G, or T.

Exemples

Exemple 1
Entrée :
first = "ACCT"
second = "AGCA"

Sortie attendue :
expected = 2
Entrée :
std::string first = "ACCT";
std::string second = "AGCA";

Sortie attendue :
long long expected = 2;
Entrée :
string first = "ACCT";
string second = "AGCA";

Sortie attendue :
long expected = 2;

Explication

The second position is C versus G and the fourth is T versus A. The first and third match: two differences.

Exemple 2
Entrée :
first = "GATT"
second = "GATT"

Sortie attendue :
expected = 0
Entrée :
std::string first = "GATT";
std::string second = "GATT";

Sortie attendue :
long long expected = 0;
Entrée :
string first = "GATT";
string second = "GATT";

Sortie attendue :
long expected = 0;

Explication

All four positions match, so no differences are counted.
