declaring real numbers (2^15-1) and (-2^15) in vhdl

04-22-2004

hi
i would like to know how to declare the numbers in vhdl.the numbers
are
(2^15-1) and (-2^15).

when i declare it using the REAL modelsim returns a error saying it is
out of range.how to overcome it
thanks

Here an example (no problem for Modelsim)
constant rl : real := 2.0**15;

(remember the right operand of the power function should be an integer; so
do not write 15.0. When you use the IEEE package math_real you have more
functions)

constant i : integer:=2**15;
works also.
