-- The hamming distance is the number of positions in which two
-- strings differ, and is used to measure how similar strings are.
-- Implement the hamming_distance() function below to calculate this;
-- you may assume that the strings are of equal length.
--
-- Solution --------------------------------------------------------------------
function hamming_distance(str1, str2)
-- Your implementation here
end
-- Tests -----------------------------------------------------------------------
