Gray Code

Problem:

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.

For now, the judge is able to judge based on one instance of gray code sequence.

分析:

枚举2n种情况,对于每一个比特位,均可以做翻转与不翻转两种状态。从最低位开始到最高位,最低位不翻转,递归生成0,,最低位翻转,递归生成1。然后是次低位反转,递归生成3, 2。后面依次可以翻转低第3位,低第4位,等等。
