#### Count Bits to Flip One Number to Another
This methods outputs the number of bits required to convert a number to another. This
makes use of property that when numbers are XORed the result will be number of different
bits and `countSetBits`.
``
Number A : 5 = (0101)_2
Number B : 1 = (0001)_2
Count Bits to be Flipped: 1
