Theory: 1) Binary to Gray conversion :
1. The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the gray code is always equal to the MSB
of the given binary code.
2. Other bits of the output gray code can be obtained by Ex-ORing binary code
bit at that index and previous index.
There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are defined as B3,
B2, B1, B0 and the output variables are defined as G3, G2, G1, G0. From the
truth table, combinational circuit is designed.The logical expressions are
defined as :
B3 = G3
B2 ⊕ B3 = G2
B1 ⊕ B2 = G1
B0 ⊕B1 =G0

2) Gray to binary conversion :
1.The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the binary code is always equal to the
MSB of the given binary number.
2.Other bits of the output binary code can be obtained by checking gray code
bit at that index. If current gray code bit is 0, then copy previous binary code
bit, else copy invert of previous binary code bit.
There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are defined as G3,
G2, G1, G0 and the output variables are defined as B3, B2, B1, B0. From the truth
table, combinational circuit is designed.The logical expressions are defined as
