gray-code

In a tournament chart from the bottom to the top where there is a winner I've been told that it is somehow connected with the gray-code. I know that the grey code is an alternative code, it's recursive and is useful to find the best solution in various games, space-filling-curves, error correction codes, harddisk positioning and is a shorthand for the piano player but how is this code is related with a tournament chart? Parsed the following from here : A tournament is really a node in a binary tree. The value in each node contains the ranking of the best ranking team contained in the

Is there a built in Gray code datatype anywhere in the .NET framework? Or conversion utility between Gray and binary? I could do it myself, but if the wheel has already been invented... Artelius Use this trick . /* The purpose of this function is to convert an unsigned binary number to reflected binary Gray code. */ unsigned short binaryToGray(unsigned short num) { return (num>>1) ^ num; } A tricky Trick: for up to 2^n bits, you can convert Gray to binary by performing (2^n) - 1 binary-to Gray conversions. All you need is the function above and a 'for' loop. /* The purpose of this function is

I have a small 8-bit processor which has a N-to-M decoder on some output lines - eg, for the 5 to 32 bit case, I write 00101 and bit 5 changes state. The only interface to the output is change-state, there is no read-back. The device counts rapidly (but randomly) occuring events, and should provide this count as a 'single bit changes' code to another device. The output pins are read in parallel by another device, and may be read as rapidly or as sparingly as the other device decides, so the count is necessary. I do NOT need to use the standard Binary Reflective Gray code - I can use any single

The Challenge The shortest program by character count that outputs the n-bit Gray Code . n will be an arbitrary number smaller than 1000 100000 (due to user suggestions) that is taken from standard input. The gray code will be printed in standard output, like in the example. Note : I don't expect the program to print the gray code in a reasonable time ( n=100000 is overkill); I do expect it to start printing though. Example Input : 4 Expected Output : 0000 0001 0011 0010 0110 0111 0101 0100 1100 1101 1111 1110 1010 1011 1001 1000 gnibbler Python - 53 chars n=1<<input() for x in range(n):print

Is there any algorithm that I can use to find the neighbors in Gray code? For small numbers is just fine to write the entire table, but if I have a number like 010 110 is a bit to much to write the entire grey code table with 6 numbers. Copied shamelessly from Wikipedia : /* The purpose of this function is to convert an unsigned binary number to reflected binary Gray code. The operator >> is shift right. The operator ^ is exclusive or. */ unsigned int binaryToGray(unsigned int num) { return (num >> 1) ^ num; } /* The purpose of this function is to convert a reflected binary Gray code number to
