Leetcode: Gray Code

The gray code is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit.

Given a non-negative integer n representing the total number of bits in the code, print the sequence of gray code. A gray code sequence must begin with 0.

For example, given n = 2, return [0,1,3,2]. Its gray code sequence is:

00 - 0
01 - 1
11 - 3
10 - 2

Note:
For a given n, a gray code sequence is not uniquely defined.

For example, [0,2,3,1] is also a valid gray code sequence according to the above definition.

For now, the judge is able to judge based on one instance of gray code sequence. Sorry about that.

二进制码->格雷码（编码）：从最右边一位起，依次将每一位与左边一位异或（XOR），作为对应格雷码该位的值，最左边一位不变（相当于左边是0）；
格雷码->二进制码（解码）：从左边第二位起，将每位与左边一位解码后的值异或，作为该位解码后的值（最左边一位依然不变）。

public class Solution {
    public ArrayList<Integer> grayCode(int n) {
		// Start typing your Java solution below
		// DO NOT write main() function
		ArrayList<Integer> res = new ArrayList<Integer>();
		int size = 1 << n;
		for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
			res.add((i >> 1) ^ i);
		}
		return res;
	}
