Converting To and From Gray Code
The following functions in C convert between binary numbers and their associated Gray codes.
/* 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 a binary number. */ unsigned int grayToBinary(unsigned int num) { unsigned int numBits = 8 * sizeof(num); unsigned int shift; for (shift = 1; shift < numBits; shift = 2 * shift) { num = num ^ (num >> shift); } return num; }Read more about this topic: Gray Series

“A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Faultless honesty is a sine qua non of business life. Not alone the honesty according to the moral code and the Bible. When I speak of honesty I refer to the small, hidden, evasive meannesses of our natures. I speak of the honesty of ourselves to ourselves.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
