Hamming Distance

The Hamming distance between two integers is the number of positions at which the corresponding bits are different.
Given two integers x and y, calculate the Hamming distance.
Note:
0 ≤ xy < 231.
Example:
Input: x = 1, y = 4

Output: 2

Explanation:
1   (0 0 0 1)
4   (0 1 0 0)

The above arrows point to positions where the corresponding bits are different.

class Solution {
public:
    int hammingDistance(int x, int y) {
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
            int op = 1 << i;
            if ((x & op) ^ (y & op)) {
                count++;
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
};
