Gray codes were invented to prevent spurious output from electromagnetic switches. Consider the number 3 in ordinary binary encoding: when incremented from 011 to 100 it is unlikely that all of the switches will change states at the same time, so there is a possibility of reading the state of the variable while it is in between a transition (i.e., when some of the bits have flipped to the correct
