89. Gray Code

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.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
Input: 2
Output: [0,1,3,2]
Explanation:
00 - 0
01 - 1
11 - 3
10 - 2

For a given n, a gray code sequence may not be uniquely defined.
For example, [0,2,3,1] is also a valid gray code sequence.

00 - 0
10 - 2
11 - 3
01 - 1

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5
Input: 0
Output: [0]
Explanation: We define the gray code sequence to begin with 0.
A gray code sequence of n has size = 2n, which for n = 0 the size is 20 = 1.
Therefore, for n = 0 the gray code sequence is [0].

Code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
class Solution(object):
def grayCode(self, n):
"""
:type n: int
:rtype: List[int]
"""
if not n:
return [0]
res = [0,1]
for i in range(2,n+1):
for j in range(len(res)-1,-1,-1):
res.append(res[j] | 1<<i-1)
return res
