Do If else have priority in verilog?

Question

I have some query about the priority of if else in verilog. For example.

  If (a)
  b
  else if c
  d
  else if e
  f
  else 
  g

At here, those a,b,c...g are all searched ? How do those have priorities in if~else in verilog?

Answer 1

An if-else construct infers a priority routing network. Following example is taken directly from a verilog book :

if
 (m==n)
r = a + b + c ;
else if (m > n )
r = a - b ;
else
r = c + 1 ;

The circuit is as shown :

As you can see, the outermost if is given a priority in the sense that it is routed first if a match is found, bypassing others.
