Que in SystemVerilog (SV) is a built-in data type used for creating queues.
Queues are dynamic arrays that can grow or shrink in size during simulation.
Queues can store elements of any data type.
Elements can be added to the end of the queue using the built-in methods like push_back().
Elements can be removed from the front of the queue using the built-in methods like pop_front().
A mailbox is a data structure used for communication between different processes or threads in a computer system.
Mailboxes are typically used in multi-threaded or multi-processor systems to pass messages between different entities.
They provide a way for processes to communicate without directly accessing each other's memory.
Mailboxes can be implemented using queues, shared memory, or other mechanisms depending on the s
Delay inter and intra refer to delays within and between different components or systems.
Delay inter refers to delays between different components or systems.
Delay intra refers to delays within the same component or system.
Example: Delay inter can occur when data is transferred between a CPU and memory.
Example: Delay intra can occur within a CPU due to processing time.
Constraints in verification engineering are conditions or limitations imposed on the design or testbench to ensure certain properties are met.
Constraints are used to restrict the possible values of variables or signals in a design or testbench.
They help in verifying specific behaviors or scenarios within the design.
Examples include setting timing constraints for signal propagation or limiting the range of input values
Object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.
Classes: Blueprint for creating objects with attributes and methods.
Objects: Instances of classes that contain data and behavior.
Inheritance: Ability for a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.
Polymorphism:...
The question is about coding tests in C using pseudo code.
Understand the problem statement clearly before writing pseudo code.

Storage classes in C specify the scope and lifetime of variables.
Storage classes include auto, register, static, and extern.
Auto variables are local to a block and have automatic storage duration.
Register variables are stored in CPU registers for faster access.
Static variables retain their value between function calls.
Extern variables are declared in one file and can be used in another file.
A structure program is a program that uses structures to group related data together.
Structures in C programming allow you to group related data together under one name.
You can define a structure using the 'struct' keyword.
Structures can contain different data types, including int, float, char, and even other structures.
You can access the members of a structure using the dot operator.
Example: struct employee { int id; ...

Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) is a way of representing decimal numbers using a binary code.
BCD uses four bits to represent each decimal digit.
Each decimal digit is represented by its binary equivalent.
For example, the decimal number 25 is represented in BCD as 0010 0101.
Keyboard mapping in a microcontroller involves assigning specific key codes to each key on the keyboard.
Keyboard mapping is typically done using a lookup table that maps physical key presses to corresponding key codes.
The microcontroller reads the key code when a key is pressed and sends it to the computer for processing.
Keyboards may use different mapping standards such as ASCII or HID.
Custom keyboard mappings can als...

Bit arbitration is the process of resolving conflicts when multiple devices try to access the same bus simultaneously.
Bit arbitration is important in multi-master systems where multiple devices can initiate data transfer.
It ensures that only one device gains control of the bus at a time.
Different arbitration schemes include priority-based, round-robin, and collision detection.
For example, in a CAN bus system, the devic...
