A library is used to store all predefined words, keys, programs/ functions that can be used directly in VHDL programming. A number of VHDL constructs may be separately analyzed for inclusion in a design library. These constructs are called library units.
The primary library units are entity declarations, package declarations and configuration declarations. The secondary library units are architecture bodies and package bodies. These library units depend on the specification of their interface in a corresponding primary library unit, so the primary unit must be analyzed before any corresponding secondary unit.
Libraries are referred to using identifiers called logical names. This name must be translated by the host operating system into an implementation dependent storage name. For example, design libraries may be implemented as database files, and the logical name might be used to determine the database file name. Library units in a given library can be referred to by prefixing their name with the library logical name.
VHDL program follows IEEE library. This means that all the data types, commands, keywords etc. used in a VHDL program are stored in a library called IEEE library. This library will be available in the EDA tool which is executing the VHDL program. 1164 is a package where all the logic gates are defined. This is a sub part of IEEE library. As encoder program requires logic gates, we need to use 1164 package in the code.
In 2008, Accellera released VHDL 4.0 to the IEEE for balloting for inclusion in IEEE 1076-2008. The VHDL standard IEEE 1076-2008 was published in January 2009. Currently, IEEE 1076-2008 is the latest version of VHDL.

In the synthesis part of a VHDL code, the EDA tool provides technology schematic. It describes the structure and sub-structures of the design. We can watch our design from the system level to the gate level.
VHDL is basically a hardware description language. To describe hardware as a program that can be dumped into a PLD, we use VHDL. It is essential to represent hardware as program so that it can be tested before realizing it physically. If there are any errors, they can be corrected here itself.

VHDL provides conversion functions and resolution functions.
VHDL is a text based programming language.
vhdl code for binary to Hexadecimal ?
vhdl code for ascending order of numbers
A function is a subprogram written in VHDL. This program can be called and used in other programs.
"&" operator is not synthesized by VHDL synthesis tool.
VHDL is a hardware description language. It describes the functionality of a hardware as a program. If we know the architecture of 8085, the same can be implemented or coded using VHDL.
