To count distinct fields in a row

I have . dat file which contains data in a specific format:
0 3 892 921 342
1 3 921 342 543
2 4 817 562 718 765
3 3 819 562 717 761

i need to compare each field in a row with another field of the same column but different row and cont the diffferences between the rows.
For ex: 892!=921 and 921!=342 and 342!=543 hence the (count of the differences between row 0 and row 1) = 3
Similarly i need to count the differences between the fields of row 1 and row 2
row 2 and row 3.. and soo on(not 0-1 , 2-3, 4-5...)

please can anyone body help me with an awk script?
I used NR.. but it is not pointing back to an already visited row Smilie

odbc_fetch_row - Fetch a row

SYNOPSIS
bool odbc_fetch_row (resource $result_id, [int $row_number]) DESCRIPTION
Fetches a row of the data that was returned by odbc_do(3) or odbc_exec(3). After odbc_fetch_row(3) is called, the fields of that row can be accessed with odbc_result(3). PARAMETERS
o $result_id - The result identifier. o $row_number - If $row_number is not specified, odbc_fetch_row(3) will try to fetch the next row in the result set. Calls to odbc_fetch_row(3) with and without $row_number can be mixed. To step through the result more than once, you can call odbc_fetch_row(3) with $row_number 1, and then continue doing odbc_fetch_row(3) without $row_number to review the result. If a driver doesn't support fetching rows by number, the $row_number parameter is ignored. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if there was a row, FALSE otherwise. PHP Documentation Group ODBC_FETCH_ROW(3)
