Dear all, I need to compare two binary numbers and need perl to return the number of matching bits.
For example: $aaa = "10111100"; $bbb = "00101100"; In this case, the number of matching bits is 6. I know I could split the strings and compare the bits one by one. However, is there any faster functions for this? I need to compare millions of such strings with 1000 bits for each. Thanks a lot!!
