I have a matrix that holds 1:s or 0:s, creating binary numbers. Its width is n. For n = 2 and n = 3 it would look like:
00 000
01 001
10 010
11 011
100
101
110
111
and so on. Right now I'm using the following code to produce this.
int row = (int) Math.pow(2, n);
int col = n;
int[][] matrix = new int[row][col];
for (int r = 0; r < row; r++) {
String binaryNumber = String.format("%" + n + "s", Integer.toBinaryString(r)).replace(' ', '0');
for (int c = col - 1; c >= 0; c--) {
matrix[r][c] = Integer.parseInt("" + binaryNumber.charAt(0));
binaryNumber = binaryNumber.substring(1);
}
}
Now I need help with creating the same thing but gray-coded. Is there a convenient way to do this in java? Also, if there is a smarter way to do what I'm doing above I'd love to learn.
I don't really have a clue where to start since I'm used to having toBinaryString()
helping me. EDIT: The gray-code will look like this:
00 000
01 001
11 011
10 010
110
111
101
100
