Hi all,

I have to do some oddball counting in binary, and I was wondering if there was
some standard table to make sure I get this right.

I have to, for example, count from 0 to 4.  I do this by setting the appropriate
number of bits to 1.  For example:
   0000 = 0
   0001 = 1
   0011 = 2
   0111 = 3
   1111 = 4

However, I also have to keep the '1' bits as far from each other as possible.
Again, using 0 to 4 for the example:
   0000 = 0
   0001 = 1
   0101 = 2
   1101 = 3
   1111 = 4
(there is quite a difference when you have a count of 16 or 32).

This isn't a gray code, and isn't a balanced gray code, either.

Is this a "standard" thing?  Does it have a name?  And a standard
set of bits?

Thanks,
   Bill
