Usage
import 'github.com/steakknife/hamming'
// ...
// hamming distance between values
hamming.Byte(0xFF, 0x00) // 8
hamming.Byte(0x00, 0x00) // 0
// just count bits in a byte
hamming.CountBitsByte(0xA5), // 4See help in the docs
Get
go get -u github.com/steakknife/hamming # master is always stable
