verilog assig

Verilog `assign` statement is used to assign a value to a wire or reg data type in a continuous assignment. It is commonly used to specify the interconnections between different modules or components in a hardware design.

The syntax of the `assign` statement is as follows:

assign <output_name> = <expression>;

Here, `<output_name>` represents the name of the wire or reg variable that you want to assign a value to, and `<expression>` represents the value or expression that you want to assign to the output.

For example, let's say we have a simple AND gate:

module AND_gate (
  input wire a,
  input wire b,
  output wire y
);

  assign y = a & b;

endmodule

In this example, the `assign` statement assigns the logical AND operation result of inputs `a` and `b` to the output `y`. This continuous assignment ensures that `y` always reflects the current value of `a & b`.

Remember that the `assign` statement is used for continuous assignments and cannot be used inside procedural blocks like `always` blocks. For sequential assignments, you would use procedural assignments like blocking (`=`) or non-blocking (`<=`) assignments within an `always` block.
