🚀 4-bit ALU Design (Verilog)

📝 Overview

This project implements a 4-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) using Verilog HDL. The ALU is a fundamental building block in any processor, capable of performing various arithmetic and logical operations on 4-bit input operands.

⚡ Features

✅ Supports 8 operations:

Select	Operation	Description
000	Addition	Adds two 4-bit numbers
001	Subtraction	Subtracts b from a
010	Bitwise AND	Performs a & b
011	Bitwise OR	Performs a | b
100	Bitwise XOR	Performs a ^ b
101	Bitwise NOT	Performs ~a
110	Transfer b	Outputs b
111	Transfer a	Outputs a

✅ Carry detection for addition and subtraction ✅ Zero flag for result validation ✅ Fully synthesizable and test bench verified ✅ Structured and readable code for easy learning
