89. Gray Code

Posted 2020-07-01 ArgenBarbie

The gray code is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit.

Given a non-negative integer n representing the total number of bits in the code, print the sequence of gray code. A gray code sequence must begin with 0.

For example, given n = 2, return [0,1,3,2]. Its gray code sequence is:

00 - 0
01 - 1
11 - 3
10 - 2

Note:
For a given n, a gray code sequence is not uniquely defined.

For example, [0,2,3,1] is also a valid gray code sequence according to the above definition.

vector<int> grayCode02(int n) {
    vector<int> ret;   
    int size = 1 << n;   
    for(int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        ret.push_back((i >> 1)^i);   
    }
    return ret;   
}
