Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a new and faster algorithmic procedure for generating the n-bit Gray codes. Thereby, through this paper we have presented the derivation, design and implementation of a newly developed algorithm for the generation of an n-bit binary reflected Gray code sequences. The developed algorithm is stemmed from the fact of generating and properly placing the min-terms from the universal set of all the possible min-terms [m0 m1 m2....mN] of Boolean function of n variables, where, 0 < N < 2n-1. The resulting algorithm is in concise form and trivial to implement. Furthermore, the developed algorithm is equipped with added attributes of optimizing of time and space while executed.
