Generating Gray Codes in C

Generating Gray Codes in C

This is C source code, written in the GCC platform (Ubuntu, 14.04 LTS, Linux).

The code generates Gray Codes. At first a palindrome number is being generated. If we Push n elements in the stack, then it generates a palindrome number of length (2^n) -1. This is the special property. Then it can generate Gray code of maximum n bit. Note that, you have to Push elements sequentially in decreasing order (e.g 4,3,2,1). It generates 121312141213121. It can generate grey code of maximum 4 bit. The code:
