hamming distance

I think that the hamming distance of two vectors is the number of different
components that thy have, I've been looking for this function in matlab 6.0
R12 but it does not appear, does somebody know sth about this function?

I know that it's easy to implement it using a for loop but I'm sure that the
matlab's function will be more efficient than mine.

Thanks in advance

Hi Dani,


will this help you better ?


----------
%for vectors a and b


hamming_dist(a,b) = sum(a~=b)


cheers,
aditya
