How to Convert Binary to Gray Code in Python

In this tutorial, we will learn how to program "How to Convert Binary to Gray Code in Python." The objective is to convert a binary number into Gray code. This tutorial will guide you through the process step by step, showing you how to implement a Gray code converter. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of how to efficiently complete this task in Python.

This topic is straightforward to understand. Just follow the instructions I provide, and you will complete it with ease. The program I will demonstrate will show you how to convert binary to Gray code. So, let’s dive into the coding process.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. def binary_to_gray(n):
  2.     n = int(n, 2)
  3.     n ^= (n >> 1)
  4.     return bin(n)[2:]
  5.  
  6. while True:
  7.     print("\n============== Convert Binary to Gray Code ==============\n")
  8.    
  9.     g = input('Enter binary number: ')
  10.     b = binary_to_gray(g)
  11.     print('Gray codeword:', b)
  12.  
  13.     opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
  14.        
  15.     if opt.lower() == 'yes':
  16.         ret=False
  17.     elif opt.lower() == 'no':
  18.         ret=True
  19.         print("Exiting program....")
  20.     else:
  21.         print("Please enter yes/no:")
  22.         break
  23.  
  24.     if ret == False:
  25.         continue

This Python program repeatedly prompts the user to enter a binary number and then converts it to its corresponding Gray code. The conversion is done by first converting the binary input into an integer, performing a bitwise XOR between the number and its right-shifted version by one bit, and finally converting the result back to binary format (excluding the '0b' prefix). After displaying the Gray code, the program asks if the user wants to try again. If "yes" is entered, the loop continues; if "no", the program exits. Any other input breaks the loop with a prompt for valid input.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Convert Binary to Gray Code in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
