What is the significance of Hamming distance? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
80 chars

Generation

Hamming distance measures the number of positions at which two strings of equal length differ, making it fundamental for error detection and correction in digital communications and data storage. It quantifies how many bit flips separate two binary sequences, which is crucial for designing codes that can detect or correct transmission errors. This metric is widely used in coding theory, cryptography, and DNA sequence analysis.
