One way to avoid this problem is to use a Gray code, in which only a single bit changes when moving between states (Fig 1). 1. 4-bit binary code versus 4-bit Gray code. Gray codes are of use for a ...

Frank Gray, who is the one who actually coined the term ‘reflected binary code.’ ... Great example of where Gray Code is useful. Report comment. Reply. Al Williams says: January 26, ...

Any code that uses just two symbols to represent information is considered binary code. Different versions of binary code have been around for centuries, and have been used in a variety of contexts.

For example, four bits change when one of the pointers transitions from 7 to 8 (0111 to 1000 in binary). As an alternative, we can use a Gray code counter, in which only one bit changes as we ...

The example he uses to show the importance of this is when binary code transitions from 7 (0b0111) to 8 (0b1000). Three digits have been turned off and one has been turned on.
