BIT, BIT_VECTOR and BOOLEAN

Definition​

Represent logic values and can be used together with logical operators.

Example BIT_VECTOR​

VARIABLE BitVectorSig : BIT_VECTOR (7 downto 0) := (others => '0');

Equals "00000000" (Order = "76543210")

Example BIT​

VARIABLE BitSig1 : BIT := '0'; 
VARIABLE BitSig2 : BIT := '1'; 

If((BitSig1 AND BitSig2) = '1')
{
    BitSig1 := '1'; 
}

Example BOOLEAN​

VARIABLE BoolSig1 : BOOLEAN := false; 
VARIABLE BoolSIg2 : BOOLEAN := true; 

If(BoolSig1 AND BoolSig2)
{
    BoolSig1 := true; 
}

With Boolean you don't have to write (BoolSig1 AND BoolSig2) = true
