Register and Net Declaration

There are two main types of data types in Verilog: Registers and Nets. Registers are a data type to model data storage. They can hold their value until the next assignment. Nets, on the contrary, do not store any value (except trireg), and instead take the value of the driving gate or assignment. They are primarily used to represent connections between structural entities. VHDL models both registers and nets using the type signal. Signals in VHDL are used both for electrical connections and storing values.

Special Note: Register declarations and other Verilog declarations inside user defined tasks and functions are modeled as VHDL variables.
