Convert Integer A to Integer B

Determine the number of bits required to convert integer A to integer B

Example
Given n = 31, m = 14,return 2

(31)=(11111)

(14)=(01110)

class Solution {
    /**
     *@param a, b: Two integer
     *return: An integer
     */
    public static int bitSwapRequired(int a, int b) {
        int count = 0;
        int a_xor_b = a ^ b;
        while (a_xor_b != 0) {
            ++count;
            a_xor_b &= (a_xor_b - 1);
        }

        return count;
    }
};
