from sympy.core import Basic, Integer import random class GrayCode(Basic): """ A Gray code is essentially a Hamiltonian walk on a n-dimensional cube with edge length of one. The vertices of the cube are represented by vectors whose values are binary. The Hamilton walk visits each vertex exactly once. The Gray code for a 3d cube is ['000','100','110','010','011','111','101', '001']. A Gray code solves the problem of sequentially generating all possible subsets of n objects in such a way that each subset is obtained from the previous one by either deleting or adding a single object. In the above example, 1 indicates that the object is present, and 0 indicates that its absent. Gray codes have applications in statistics as well when we want to compute various statistics related to subsets in an efficient manner.
