Fun Fact
Gray Code ensures only one bit changes between successive values, which drastically reduces error risks in mechanical encoders and early computing hardware.
Historical Context
Gray Code was patented by Frank Gray in 1953 while working at Bell Labs. It was originally designed for shaft position encoders used in telecommunication systems, where minimizing bit transition errors was critical. Today, it remains fundamental in digital logic, robotics, signal processing, and computing architecture.
