👉 The term "hamming" refers to a set of rules that are used in computer science and digital electronics to measure the distance between two bits. The exact definition of what constitutes a "bit" or "bit position" can vary depending on the context, but generally it is assumed that each bit represents one unit of information, such as a number, symbol, or character. The Hamming distance between two bits in binary representation is defined as the minimum number of positions at which there must be a
