Question

How to print the numbers 0 to 31 by changing 1 bit each time in Kotlin

Answer 1

/*
    Title: Gray‑Code Sequence (One‑Bit‑Change Order)

    This program prints the 5‑bit Gray‑code sequence from 0 to 31.
    Gray code guarantees that each successive value differs by exactly one bit.

    Gray code formula:
        gray(n) = n xor (n shr 1)

    The program prints the Gray‑code values themselves in the natural
    one‑bit‑change order: 0, 1, 3, 2, 6, 7, 5, 4, ...
*/

fun toBits(value: Int): String {
    // Convert to a 5‑bit binary string using Kotlin's built‑in formatting
    return value.toString(2).padStart(5, '0')
}

fun printGraySequence() {
    for (n in 0 until 32) {
        val g: Int = n xor (n shr 1)   // Gray‑code transformation
        println("${g.toString().padStart(2)}  ->  ${toBits(g)}")
    }
}

fun main() {
    printGraySequence()
}


/*
run:

 0  ->  00000
 1  ->  00001

/*
    Title: Gray‑Code Table (Numbers 1..31 with Bit Patterns)

    This program generates 5‑bit Gray‑code values for numbers 0–31.
    Gray code ensures that each successive value differs by exactly one bit.

    The program prints numbers 1..31 in normal numeric order,
    while showing their corresponding Gray‑code bit patterns.
*/

fun toBits(value: Int): String {
    return value.toString(2).padStart(5, '0')
}

fun printGrayTable(gray: IntArray) {
    for (n in 1 until gray.size) {
        println("${n.toString().padStart(2)}  ->  ${toBits(gray[n])}")
    }
}

fun main() {
    // Generate Gray‑code values for 0..31
    val gray: IntArray = IntArray(32) { n -> n xor (n shr 1) }

    // Print numbers 1..31 with their Gray‑code bit patterns
    printGrayTable(gray)
}
