📄 Description

Description of Change

This pull request introduces a C program that calculates the Hamming distance between two strings. The Hamming distance is a measure of the difference between two strings of equal length. This algorithm calculates the number of differing characters between two input strings, which can be useful for various applications, including error detection and correction.
