+# Help
+
+## Running the tests
+
+## Setup
+
+Go through the setup [instructions for JavaScript][docs-exercism-javascript] to install the necessary dependencies.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Install assignment dependencies:
+
+```shell
+# Using npm
+npm install
+
+# Alternatively using yarn
+yarn
+```
+
+## Making the test suite pass
+
+All exercises come with a test suite to help you validate your solution before submitting.
+You can execute these tests by opening a command prompt in the exercise's directory, and then running:
+
+```bash
+# Using npm
+npm test
+
+# Alternatively using yarn
+yarn test
+```
+
+In some test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing `xtest` to `test`.
+
+## Writing custom tests
+
+If you wish to write additional, custom, tests, create a new file `custom.spec.js`, and submit it with your solution together with the new file:
+
+```shell
+exercism submit numbers.js custom.spec.js
+```
+
+[docs-exercism-javascript]: https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/javascript/installation
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit hamming.js` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?
+
+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [JavaScript track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/javascript)
+- [Exercism's support channel on gitter](https://gitter.im/exercism/support)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+To get help if you're having trouble, you can use one of the following resources:
+
+- [Gitter](https://gitter.im/exercism/support) is Exercism's Gitter room; go here to get support and ask questions if you face any issues with downloading or submitting your exercises.
+- [/r/javascript](https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript) is the Javascript subreddit.
+- [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/javascript+exercism) can be used to search for your problem and see if it has been answered already. You can also ask and answer questions.
+- [Github issue tracker](https://github.com/exercism/javascript/issues) is where we track our development and maintainance of Javascript exercises in exercism. But if none of the above links help you, feel free to post an issue here.

+# Hamming
+
+Welcome to Hamming on Exercism's JavaScript Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+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:
+
+    GAGCCTACTAACGGGAT
+    CATCGTAATGACGGCCT
+    ^ ^ ^  ^ ^    ^^
+
+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 :)
+
+
+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. The general handling of this situation (e.g., raising an
+exception vs returning a special value) may differ between languages.
