Hamming distance between two ranks

Description

The Hamming distance between two ranks x and y is the number of difference between the two ranks. For example, the Hamming's distance between x=(1,4,2,5,3) and y=(1,3,4,5,2) is 3 because, only 1 and 5 have the same place in both ranks.

Usage

distHamming(x, y)

Arguments

x, y	two ranks of size m.
