Calculate the Hamming distance between two DNA strands.

Your body is made up of cells that contain DNA.
Those cells regularly wear out and need replacing, which they achieve by dividing into daughter cells.
In fact, the average human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime!

When cells divide, their DNA replicates too.
Sometimes during this process mistakes happen and single pieces of DNA get encoded with the incorrect information.
If we compare two strands of DNA and count the differences between them we can see how many mistakes occurred.
This is known as the "Hamming distance".

We read DNA using the letters C, A, G and T.
Two strands might look like this:

They have 7 differences, and therefore the Hamming distance is 7.

The Hamming distance is useful for lots of things in science, not just biology, so it's a nice phrase to be familiar with :)

## Implementation notes

The Hamming distance is only defined for sequences of equal length, so an attempt to calculate it between sequences of different lengths should not work.

# Introduction

You are an accomplished problem-solver, known for your ability to tackle the most challenging mathematical puzzles.
One evening, you receive an urgent letter from an inventor called the Triangle Tinkerer, who is working on a groundbreaking new project.
The letter reads:

> Dear Mathematician,
>
> I need your help.
> I am designing a device that relies on the unique properties of Pythagorean triplets — sets of three integers that satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².
> This device will revolutionize navigation, but for it to work, I must program it with every possible triplet where the sum of a, b, and c equals a specific number, N.
> Calculating these triplets by hand would take me years, but I hear you are more than up to the task.
>
> Time is of the essence.
> The future of my invention — and perhaps even the future of mathematical innovation — rests on your ability to solve this problem.
Motivated by the importance of the task, you set out to find all Pythagorean triplets that satisfy the condition.
Your work could have far-reaching implications, unlocking new possibilities in science and engineering.
Can you rise to the challenge and make history?

# Instructions

Given a natural radicand, return its square root.
Your task is to calculate the square root of a given number.

Note that the term "radicand" refers to the number for which the root is to be determined.
That is, it is the number under the root symbol.
- Try to avoid using the pre-existing math libraries of your language.
- As input you'll be given a positive whole number, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4…
- You are only required to handle cases where the result is a positive whole number.

Check out the Wikipedia pages on [square root][square-root] and [methods of computing square roots][computing-square-roots].
Some potential approaches:

Recall also that natural numbers are positive real whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3 and up).
- Linear or binary search for a number that gives the input number when squared.
- Successive approximation using Newton's or Heron's method.
- Calculating one digit at a time or one bit at a time.

# Introduction

We are launching a deep space exploration rocket and we need a way to make sure the navigation system stays on target.

As the first step in our calculation, we take a target number and find its square root (that is, the number that when multiplied by itself equals the target number).

The journey will be very long.
To make the batteries last as long as possible, we had to make our rocket's onboard computer very power efficient.
Unfortunately that means that we can't rely on fancy math libraries and functions, as they use more power.
Instead we want to implement our own square root calculation.
