5)Try simulating both the codes given below. What do you observe? Why is the difference?
a)

use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;
entity sig_assign is
port(a,clk:in std_logic;c:out std_logic);
end sig_assign;
architecture behav of sig_assign is
signal b:std_logic;

process(clk)

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
23
entity sigtb is

architecture archtb of sigtb is
component sig_assign
port(a,clk:in std_logic;c:out std_logic);
end component;
signal a_t,c_t:std_logic;
signal clk_t : std_logic := '1';
begin
a1:sig_assign port map(a=>a_t,clk=>clk_t,c=>c_t);
a_t<='0','1' after 10 ns,'1' after 20 ns,'0' after 30 ns;
clk_t<=not clk_t after 5 ns;
end archtb;

Reason:
For variable assignment, the value is assigned immediately whereas for signal assignment it happens
after a delay in clock.
In the case of variable assignment, the value of b is the present value of a and is assigned to c
immediately. For signal assignment, it takes a change in clock for the first code to assign a to the value of
c; since the value of a is assigned to b, but however the value assigned to c is the previous value of b.
