Operators in Verilog
Like other programming languages, Verilog has operators and we can use these operators to describe a hardware. Each operator is denoted by a symbol similar to the operators in other programming languages.
Here are the list of operators in Verilog.
Arithmetic Operator

|
^ |
Ex-Or |

Equality Operator
Equality Operators

Description |
|
> |
Greater Than |
True if left operand is greater than right operand |
|
< |
Less Than |
True if left operand is less than right operand |
|
>= |
Greater than or equal to |
True if left operand is greater than or equal to right operand |
|
<= |
Less than or equal to |
True if left operand is less than or equal to right operand |
Relational Operator
Relational Operators
Symbol |
Operation |
Description |
|
== |
Equal to |
True if left operand is equal to right operand |
|
!= |
Not equal to |
True if left operand is not equal to right operand |
Shifting Operator
Logical Operators
Symbol |
Operation |
Description |
|
<< |
Left Shift |
Performs left shift operation |
|
>> |
Right Shift |
Performs right shift operation |
|
<<< |
Left Shift |
Performs arithmetic left shit operation |
|
>>> |
Right Shift |
Performs arithmetic right shift operation |
Reduction Operator
Logical Operators
Symbol |
Operation |
Description |
|
~ |
NOT |
Performs reduction using NOT logic |
|
| |
OR |
Performs reduction using OR logic |
|
& |
AND |
Performs reduction using AND logic |
|
^ |
Ex-Or |
Performs Multiplication operation of two operands |
Concatination Operator
Curly braces is the concatination operator in Verilog we can use this to concatinate inputs and outputs. Here is an example
module gate(a,b,cin,sum,carry);
input a,b;
output sum,carry;
assign {carry,sum} = a + b + cin; //Concatination operator used
endmodule
Replication Operator
We can replicate any inpu and output using same curly braces. Here is an example
module repli(a,b,y);
input a,b;
output [2:0]y;
wire x;
assign x = a & b;
assign y= {3{x}}; //replicating x three times
endmodule
Conditional Operator
Question mark operator is the conditional operator. and it is used as follows
assign y = condition?(if_true_output):(if_false_output);
We can describe 2X1 MUX using conditional operation as given below
module gate(a,b,s,y);
input a,b,s;
output y;
assign y = s?a:b; //conditional operator used
//If s is 1, a is selected else b is selected, which is 2X1 MUX
endmodule
