Problem
An n-bit gray code sequence is a sequence of 2n
integers where:
- Every integer is in the inclusive range
[0, 2n - 1]
, - The first integer is
0
, - An integer appears no more than once in the sequence,
- The binary representation of every pair of adjacent integers differs by exactly one bit, and
- The binary representation of the first and last integers differs by exactly one bit.
Given an integer n
, return any valid n-bit gray code sequence.
Example 1:
Input: n = 2 Output: [0,1,3,2] Explanation: The binary representation of [0,1,3,2] is [00,01,11,10]. - 00 and 01 differ by one bit - 01 and 11 differ by one bit - 11 and 10 differ by one bit - 10 and 00 differ by one bit [0,2,3,1] is also a valid gray code sequence, whose binary representation is [00,10,11,01]. - 00 and 10 differ by one bit - 10 and 11 differ by one bit - 11 and 01 differ by one bit - 01 and 00 differ by one bit
Example 2:
Input: n = 1 Output: [0,1]
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 16
