Calculate Hamming distance of two character vectors

Description

Calculate Hamming distance of two character vectors

Usage

hamming_distance(a, b, nthread = NULL)

Arguments

a	the first character vector
b	the first character vector
nthread	Maximum number of threads to use. If NULL (default), Rayon's global thread pool is used, which typically uses all logical CPU cores available.

Value

a vector of hamming similarities of the strings

Examples

hamming_distance(
  c("ACGTCGATGACGTGATGCGTAGCGTA", "ACGTCGATGTGCTCTCGTCGATCTAC"),
  c("ACGTCGACGACGTGATGCGCAGCGTA", "ACGTCGATGGGGTCTCGTCGATCTAC")
)
