Question 477

Which digital code allows only one bit to change between sequential code values?

  1. Binary Coded Decimal Code
  2. Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code
  3. Extended ASCII
  4. Gray codeCorrect answer

Explanation

In Gray code, consecutive values differ in exactly one bit position, so a reading taken while a value is changing can be wrong by at most one step instead of producing a wildly incorrect intermediate code. Ordinary binary can flip several bits at once, as in the transition from 0111 to 1000.
