Type-declaration character

The type-declaration characters (%,, , , ) cannot be embedded in a name. 

You can also declare a variable s type by appending a type-declaration character to the variable name, a technique from older versions of BASIC. The type-declaration characters include % for integer variables and for string variables. 

The enumeration literal can be an identifier (e.g. RED, Blue, green) or a character literal (e.g. V, X, ). Eadi must be unique within the type declaration. Identifiers (simple names) are discussed in detail in Chapter 4. 

Variable—Type assigned at declaration and may not be changed value assigned by a numerical or character constant, by input or by an expression. 

All common variable types are supported. It is best to declare variables, using either the Dim or Redim statement, which can occur anywhere in a procedure. Arrays must be declared. There are some leftovers from older versions of the language whereby a variable that ends in % is automatically an integer, for example i%, and a variable ending in a character, for example n. However, it is not necessary for these variable types to end in these characters providing they are specifically declared, e.g. 

Many computer languages, including FORTRAN, require that every variable be initially declared as to its type, whether character, real number, integer, logical, etc. Lines 9-29 do... 

Nevertheless, the available results negative character, i.e., those declaring nonintegrability of many concrete types of systems, make it possible to think of the formulated principle as a certain experimental observation. In other words, integrable cases fill up the set "of measure zero in the space of all systems. 

SUB" is an enumeration literal defined in type "CHARACTER" in the package "STANDARD" which is implicitly visible in all VHDL designs. Since this definition as well as the component declaration for "SUB" are both visible in the code, a homograph is reported. You can explicitly avoid this ambiguity as follows...
