Java Program to Generate All Possible Subsets using Gray Code Order

This is a java program to generate and print all the subsets using the Gray Code Order. The reflected binary code, also known as Gray code after Frank Gray, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit (binary digit). The gray code equivalent of a binary number is (number >> 1) ^ number, i.e. right-shift the number by one and EX-ORing with the original number.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Generate All Subsets of a Given Set in the Gray Code Order. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
