hammingDistance<E> function

int hammingDistance<E>(List<E> source, List<E> target, { DualEqualityTest<E, E>? test, })

Finds the Hamming distance between two lists.

Parameters

• source and target are two list of items.
• test is an optional equality matcher.

Details

Hamming distance is between two equal-length list of items is the number of positions at which the corresponding items are different.

If length of the lists are not equal, a RangeError is thrown.

Implementation

int hammingDistance<E>(
  List<E> source,
  List<E> target, {
  DualEqualityTest<E, E>? test,
}) {
  if (test == null) {
    return hammingDistanceDefault(source, target);
  }
  return hammingDistanceCustom(source, target, test);
}
