/**
|

* Generates a Gray code sequence for the given number of bits.
|
||||
* @param {number} n - The number of bits in the Gray code sequence.
|
||||
* @returns {number[]} - An array of Gray codes in binary format.
|
||||
* @description
|
||||
* Gray codes are binary sequences in which two successive values differ in only one bit.
|
||||
* This function generates a Gray code sequence of length 2^n for the given number of bits.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The algorithm follows these steps:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* 1. Initialize an array `grayCodes` to store the Gray codes. Start with [0, 1] for n = 1.
|
||||
* 2. Iterate from 1 to n:
|
||||
* a. Calculate `highestBit` as 2^i, where `i` is the current iteration index.
|
||||
* b. Iterate in reverse order through the existing Gray codes:
|
||||
* - For each Gray code `code`, add `highestBit | code` to `grayCodes`.
|
||||
* - This operation flips a single bit in each existing code, creating new codes.
|
||||
* 3. Return the `grayCodes` array containing the Gray codes in decimal representation.
|
||||

|
||||
* @example
|
||||
* const n = 3;
|
||||
* const grayCodes = generateGrayCodes(n);
|
||||
* // grayCodes will be [0, 1, 3, 2, 6, 7, 5, 4] for n=3.
