[solved]-Hamming Distance Two Binary Strings X Y Length N Equal Number Positions Two Strings Differ Q39093278

The Hamming distance between two binary strings x and y oflength n is equal to the number of positions at which the twostrings differ. For example, let n = 7, and consider x = 0001001and y = 0001111, then the Hamming distance between x and y is 2since the two binary strings differ only in the fifth and sixthposition from the left.

Given a bit string x of length n, how many strings are therethat are at Hamming distance k from x, i.e. they differ from x inexactly k positions?

Consider Decimal strings (0-9) now. If x is a decimal string, wesay y is at a distance of k from x if x and y differ in exactly kpositions. How many decimal strings y are at a distance of k from adecimal string x of length n?
