8.5. Introduction to Parameterized Classes
​
Parameterized classes allow you to create reusable, generic components that can work with different data types and values. They are essential for building scalable verification environments.
​
Without Parameterization – Need Separate Classes
Verilog
WITH parameterization - Single reusable class
