The total number of bits at which a string differs gives the Hamming variety of this quantity.
In a given topological space, if this function becomes arbitrarily small for any combination of inputs past some point in a sequence, then the sequence is Cauchy. The total number of bits at which a string differs gives the Hamming variety of this quantity. The value of p in an Lp space determines how this quantity is calculated. This function must be zero if and only if the inputs are the same. The sum of absolute differences of coordinates gives the "taxicab" variety of this quantity. Three related values of this function must satisfy the triangle inequality, and the norm gives this value for a vector. For 10 points, give this function that tells you how far apart two points are.
