461. 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.

Python 3 Code:

class Solution:
    def hammingDistance(self, x, y):
        """
        :type x: int
        :type y: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        z = int (x ^ y)
        ans = 0
        while z > 0:
            ans += z % 2
            z = z >> 1 
            
        return ans
