Gray to Binary and Binary to Gray conversion
Binary Numbers is default way to store numbers, but in many applications binary numbers are difficult to use and a variation of binary numbers is needed. This is where Gray codes are very useful.
Gray code has property that two successive numbers differ in only one bit because of this property gray code does the cycling through various states with minimal effort and used in K-maps, error correction, communication etc.
How to generate n bit Gray Codes?
Following is 2-bit sequence (n = 2) 00 01 11 10 Following is 3-bit sequence (n = 3) 000 001 011 010 110 111 101 100 And Following is 4-bit sequence (n = 4) 0000 0001 0011 0010 0110 0111 0101 0100 1100 1101 1111 1110 1010 1011 1001 1000
n-bit Gray Codes can be generated from list of (n-1)-bit Gray codes using following steps.
- Let the list of (n-1)-bit Gray codes be L1. Create another list L2 which is reverse of L1.
- Modify the list L1 by prefixing a ‘0’ in all codes of L1.
- Modify the list L2 by prefixing a ‘1’ in all codes of L2.
- Concatenate L1 and L2. The concatenated list is required list of n-bit Gray codes.
- The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the gray code is always equal to the MSB of the given binary code.
- Other bits of the output gray code can be obtained by XORing binary code bit at that index and previous index.
- The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the binary code is always equal to the MSB of the given binary number.
- Other bits of the output binary code can be obtained by checking gray code bit at that index. If current gray code bit is 0, then copy previous binary code bit, else copy invert of previous binary code bit.

How to Convert Binary To Gray and Vice Versa?
Binary : 0011 Gray : 0010 Binary : 01001 Gray : 01101
In computer science many a times we need to convert binary code to gray code and vice versa. This conversion can be done by applying following rules :
Binary to Gray conversion :
Gray to binary conversion :
Below is the implementation of above steps.
