# scipy.spatial.distance.hamming

`scipy.spatial.distance.``hamming`(u, v)

  Computes the Hamming distance between two 1-D arrays.

  The Hamming distance between 1-D arrays u and v, is simply the proportion of disagreeing components in u and v. If u and v are boolean vectors, the Hamming distance is

  where is the number of occurrences of and for .

  Parameters : | u : (N,) array_like Input array. v : (N,) array_like Input array.
  Returns : | hamming : double The Hamming distance between vectors u and v.
