Hello all,

Can somebody help me with Verilog programming. I am using Xilinx to program and modelsim to simulate. The problem I am having is in the module named add_or_subtract. What I am trying to do is compare the check_next_bit with check_bit. Check_bit is being passed in and check_next_bit is assigned a value of 0. These are some of the errrors that I get :"Reference to scalar reg 'check_next_bit' is not a legal net lvalue","Illegal left hand side of continuous assign". I need to assign values to a and s with the if statements then what ever i get from there I will assign them to add and sub. Can somebody help me:

module not working:
module add_or_subtract(check_bit,add,sub);
input check_bit;
output add,sub;
reg check_next_bit,bit;
reg a,s;


assign check_next_bit= 0;
assign bit = 1;
assign a=0;
assign s=0;



always @(bit) begin

if(check_bit<=check_next_bit)
begin
a = 1;
s = 0;
end
else if (check_bit>=check_next_bit)
begin
a = 0;
s = 1;
end
end
assign sub=s;
assign add=a;
endmodule
