+# TASK #2 > Bit Sum
+# Reviewed by Ryan Thompson
+# Helper Function
+# For this task, you will most likely need a function f(a,b) which returns the
+# count of different bits of binary representation of a and b.
+#
+# For example, f(1,3) = 1, since:
+#
+# Binary representation of 1 = 01
+#
+# Binary representation of 3 = 11
+#
+# There is only 1 different bit. Therefore the subroutine should return 1. Note
+# that if one number is longer than the other in binary, the most significant
+# bits of the smaller number are padded (i.e., they are assumed to be zeroes).
+#
+# Script Output
+# You script should accept n positive numbers. Your script should sum the result
+# of f(a,b) for every pair of numbers given:
+#
+# For example, given 2, 3, 4, the output would be 6,
+# since f(2,3) + f(2,4) + f(3,4) = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
