title: 16-bit bitwise and in VHDL?
body: <p>If I needed to perform a bitwise AND operation of two 16bit inputs and obtain a 16bit output in VHDL, would I be able to just AND the two inputs and store the result as the output vector?  Or would I need to loop through each bit of the inputs, AND them, then store the result in the output vector?  Would this work similarly for operations like or and xor?</p>
