Hamming Distance

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

Problema

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.

Vincoli

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

Esempi

Esempio 1
Input:
first = "ACCT"
second = "AGCA"

Output atteso:
expected = 2
Input:
std::string first = "ACCT";
std::string second = "AGCA";

Output atteso:
long long expected = 2;
Input:
string first = "ACCT";
string second = "AGCA";

Output atteso:
long expected = 2;

Spiegazione

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

Esempio 2
Input:
first = "GATT"
second = "GATT"

Output atteso:
expected = 0
Input:
std::string first = "GATT";
std::string second = "GATT";

Output atteso:
long long expected = 0;
Input:
string first = "GATT";
string second = "GATT";

Output atteso:
long expected = 0;

Spiegazione

All four positions match, so no differences are counted.
