Description
Description of the content report
There are two entries for Hamming Distance, the main one (https://the-algorithms.com/algorithm/hamming-distance) is alright, with implementations in 13 languages, but there's another one containing the implementation of it in Lua which is a different entry here. It is also in a different category, that is "Strings/Distance" compared to the main one which is in "Strings". I think "Strings/Distance" isn't bad categorisation though.

Additional information/context
Note that Hamming Code and Hamming Numbers in the screenshot are different entries with their own merits.

Research direction
Compare the two linked Hamming Distance entries first, then inspect how the website represents algorithm entries and categories. Confirm whether the Lua implementation belongs with the canonical entry; done when only the intended entry remains and its categorization is consistent.
