SystemC Statement and Flow Control

 Statements 

All the statements will end with semicolon (;), Number of statements can be grouped by placing them with in curly braces. { };
{
    Statement1;
    Statement2;
    Statement3;
}

  if and else 

The if  keyword is used to execute the statement or group of statements based on the condition’s.

Below are the few examples,

//if, execution of one statement on condition satisfied
if ( condition ) statement;
//if, execution of block/statement's on condition satisfied
if ( condition ) {
    Statement1;
    Statement2;
}
//if along with else part
if(condition) {
     Statement1;
}
else {
      stetement2;
}
//if, with nested if in else part
if(condition2) {
     Statement1;
}
else  if (condition2) {
   if(condition3)  stetement2;
   else            statement3;
}

Example-1:

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
  //declaration and initialization
  int a = 10;
  int b = 30;
  
  //if-else 
  if( a > b )
    cout <<" a is greater than b "<<endl;
  else
  {
    cout <<" b is greater than a "<<endl;
    if((b-a) > a)
      cout <<" b-a is greater than a"<<endl;
    else 
      cout <<" b-a is less than a "<<endl;
  }
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:



b is greater than a
b-a is greater than a

 Loop Statements: 

Below are the loop statements in C++/SystemC,

  • For Loop
  • While Loop
  • Do-while

 for loop 

for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) statement;
for loop works as below,
  • Initialize the loop variable
  • Check for the condition, if condition is satisfied then executes the block
  • Increment/decrement the loop variable value

Example-1: for-loop

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {

  //for-loop
  for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
  {
    cout <<" Value of i = "<<i<<endl;
  }
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:

Value of i = 0
Value of i = 1
Value of i = 2
Value of i = 3
Execute the above code on 

Example-2: for-loop, one or more initial declaration

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {

  //for-loop
  for ( int j=0,i=3;j<5;j++)
  {
    if(j==i) 
      cout <<" Value j equals to Value of i. j="<<j<<" i="<<i<<endl;
     else
      cout <<" Value j ="<<j<<endl;
  }
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:

Value j =0
Value j =1
Value j =2
Value j equals to Value of i. j=3 i=3
Value j =4
Execute the above code on 

Example-3: for-loop, one or more step assignment

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {

  //for-loop
  for ( int j=0,i=4;j<4;j++,i--)
  {
    cout <<" j="<<j<<" i="<<i<<endl;
  }
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:

j=0 i=4
j=1 i=3
j=2 i=2
j=3 i=1
Execute the above code on 

 While Loop 

The while loop will repeats the execution of statement/block until the condition is true.

Example-1: while-loop

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
  //declaration and initialization
  int a = 15;
  int b = 10;

  //while-loop
  while( a > b ) {
    cout <<" a is greater than b a = "<<a<<" b = "<<b<<endl;
    a--;
  }

  cout <<" b is greater than a "<<endl;
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:

a is greater than b a = 15 b = 10
a is greater than b a = 14 b = 10
a is greater than b a = 13 b = 10
a is greater than b a = 12 b = 10
a is greater than b a = 11 b = 10
b is greater than a
Execute the above code on 

 Do-while 

The do-while loop will execute the statement/block and then checks for condition.
The difference between do-while and while is, irrespective of the condition the statement/block will be executed at least once in do-while.

Example-1: do-while

 
#include "systemc.h"
int sc_main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
  //declaration and initialization
  int a = 9;
  int b = 10;

  //while-loop
  do{
    cout <<" a is greater than b a = "<<a<<" b = "<<b<<endl;
    a--;
  }while( a > b );

  cout <<" b is greater than a "<<endl;
    
  // Terminate simulation
  return 0;
}

Simulator Output:

a is greater than b a = 9 b = 10
b is greater than a
