A verilog module is a selfcontained hardware unit with an interface of inputs and outputs, which are specified on the next screen. This all sounds scary, but in truth bitwise operators are quite easy to use and also quite useful.

Nov 10, 2015 concatenation is generally used for combining two or more vectors to form a single vector. Xl, which added a few features and implemented the infamous xl algorithm which was a very efficient method for doing gate. Do not confuse logical operators with the bitwise boolean operators.

Veriloga reference manual massachusetts institute of. This articles is writtensubmitted by puneet puneet aggarwal.
They take each bit individually and perform a boolean algebra operation with the other input. This may sound very odd, coming from me, but if your strength is really in software, you may want to consider enhancing your career in software. These logical operators can be combined on a single line. In the examples provided, the code with is functionally equivalent to the same coded with the omitted. This means they look directly at the binary digits or bits of an integer.
