A concrete starting point
Convert integer words to Gray code and back with an explicit width from one through 16 bits. Test zero and the largest fitting value, rejecting Booleans, invalid widths and values that do not fit.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
