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 - 001 - 111 - 310 - 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. Sorry about that.
思路:
这题其实挺简单,思路可以联想到组合问题中的回溯,改变第n位,然后再利用其余n-1位的组合重新组成n位的组合。如果在改变第n位的时候,保持其余n-1位不动,再保持第n位将其余n-1位的序列反着推回去就OK了。
感觉程序没有写出来的必要,举个栗子反而更清楚 n = 4
