[Leetcode] Grey Code

Title: (backtracking)

The gray code is a binary numeral system where the successive values are 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:

00-001-111-310-2

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

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

For now, the judge are able to judge based on one instance of gray code sequence. Sorry about that.

We can see that the last of the digits of 4 codes at the bottom is just the descending sequence of the first 4 codes. The first 4 codes is 0, 1, 3, 2. So, we can easily get the last 4 Codes:2 + 4, 3 + 4, 1 + 4, 0 + 4, which are 6, 7, 5, 4. We can keep doing this until we r each n digits.

To solve this problem, let's take a look at the law of Greycode.

When N=1:

0

1

When n=2:

00

01

11

10

When n = 3:

000
001
011
010
110
111
101
100

And then we can find a pattern, and when n increases by 1 each time,

The fact is: 1. Add a 0 to the front of all elements of the n-1.2. N-1 all elements in reverse order followed by 1.

For example, when n=2 n-1 is

0

1

All first steps add a 0 to the front of all elements of n-1

00

01

The second step is to n-1 all elements in reverse order, followed by 1.

11

10

And then because to convert to decimal number, the first step is preceded by 0, that is, add 0, is nothing to add. The second step is preceded by 1, which is exactly the number of all elements added to the n-1.

So the code is as follows:

 Public classSolution { PublicList<integer> Graycode (intN) {List<Integer> ret =NewLinkedlist<>(); Ret.add (0);  for(inti = 0; I < n; i++) {            intSize =ret.size ();  for(intj = size-1; J >= 0; j--) Ret.add (Ret.get (j)+size); }        returnret; }}
