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.
Example 1:
Input: 2
Output:[0,1,3,2]
Explanation:
00 - 0
01 - 1
11 - 3
10 - 2 For a given n, a gray code sequence may not be uniquely defined.
For example, [0,2,3,1] is also a valid gray code sequence. 00 - 0
10 - 2
11 - 3
01 - 1
Example 2:
Input: 0
Output:[0]
Explanation: We define the gray code sequence to begin with 0.
A gray code sequence of n has size = 2n, which for n = 0 the size is 20 = 1.
Therefore, for n = 0 the gray code sequence is [0].
规律:
1. 如果格雷码n位数,那么返回的数组长度是2^n(即1 << n)
2. 二进制-->格雷码:如果二进制码字的第i位和i+1位相同,则对应的格雷码的第i位为0,否则为1。最高为之前可以看作还有一位0,即最高位是和0异或。
*格雷码-->二进制:最左边一位不变,从左边第二位起,将每位与左边一位解码后的值异或,作为该位解码后的值。
class Solution {
public List<Integer> grayCode(int n) {
int length = 1 << n;
List<Integer> ret = new ArrayList<Integer>();
ret.add(0);
int i = 1;
int num;
while(i < length){
num = i^(i>>1); //异或,相同为0,不同为1
ret.add(num);
i++;
}
return ret;
}
}
