) Hardware Description language: This is a script describing the logic design. The code may have 3 main different styles: (a) Structural design: This style is mainly a word description of the schematic capture. It handles each primitive component or building block as a module defined by its name, inputs and outputs. Top modules are constructed by connecting smaller modules using wires. and and1 (in1, in2, out0) (b) Switching functions: Wires and outputs are assigned a switching function using inputs or other wires. assign wire1 = inputA & inputB; (c) Behavioral design: The behavioral design describes the function of the module using if statements, case statements … etc
