LeetCode – Gray Code (Java)

 

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

Java Solution

public List<Integer> grayCode(int n) {
    if(n==0){
        List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        result.add(0);
        return result;
    }
 
    List<Integer> result = grayCode(n-1);
    int numToAdd = 1<<(n-1);
 
    for(int i=result.size()-1; i>=0; i--){
        result.add(numToAdd+result.get(i));
    }
 
    return result;
}

If you want someone to read your code, please put the code inside <pre><code> and </code></pre> tags. For example: 
<pre><code> 
String foo = "bar";
</code></pre>

    List result = new ArrayList();
    result.add(0);
    for(int j = 1; j <=n ; j++){
    int numToAdd = 1 <=0 ; i–){
    result.add(result.get(i)+numToAdd);
    }
