Binary and Gray Code Conversions

This video tutorial explains how to convert binary numbers to gray code and vice versa. It provides detailed examples and practice problems to help viewers understand the conversion process. Additionally, the video highlights the advantages of gray code, such as reduced switching operations in circuits, by comparing it to binary code.

What is the first step in converting a binary number to gray code?

• Rewrite the least significant bit

• Rewrite the most significant bit

• Add 1 to the binary number

• Invert all bits

When converting binary to gray code, what do you write if two consecutive bits are the same?

• The opposite bit

• 0

• 1

• The same bit

In the practice problem, what is the gray code for the binary number 110?

• 010

• 111

• 100
