* Generates a Gray code sequence for the given number of bits.

* @param {number} n - The number of bits in the Gray code sequence.

* @returns {number[]} - An array of Gray codes in binary format.

* @description
6+
* Gray codes are binary sequences in which two successive values differ in only one bit.
7+
* This function generates a Gray code sequence of length 2^n for the given number of bits.
8+
*
9+
* The algorithm follows these steps:
10+
*
11+
* 1. Initialize an array `grayCodes` to store the Gray codes. Start with [0, 1] for n = 1.
12+
* 2. Iterate from 1 to n:
13+
* a. Calculate `highestBit` as 2^i, where `i` is the current iteration index.
14+
* b. Iterate in reverse order through the existing Gray codes:
15+
* - For each Gray code `code`, add `highestBit | code` to `grayCodes`.
16+
* - This operation flips a single bit in each existing code, creating new codes.
17+
* 3. Return the `grayCodes` array containing the Gray codes in decimal representation.

* @example
21+
* const n = 3;
22+
* const grayCodes = generateGrayCodes(n);
23+
* // grayCodes will be [0, 1, 3, 2, 6, 7, 5, 4] for n=3.
