VHDL program follows IEEE library. This means that all the data types, commands, keywords etc. used in a VHDL program are stored in a library called IEEE library. This library will be available in the EDA tool which is executing the VHDL program. 1164 is a package where all the logic gates are defined. This is a sub part of IEEE library. As encoder program requires logic gates, we need to use 1164 package in the code.
VHDL is basically a hardware description language. To describe hardware as a program that can be dumped into a PLD, we use VHDL. It is essential to represent hardware as program so that it can be tested before realizing it physically. If there are any errors, they can be corrected here itself.
In 2008, Accellera released VHDL 4.0 to the IEEE for balloting for inclusion in IEEE 1076-2008. The VHDL standard IEEE 1076-2008 was published in January 2009. Currently, IEEE 1076-2008 is the latest version of VHDL.

In the synthesis part of a VHDL code, the EDA tool provides technology schematic. It describes the structure and sub-structures of the design. We can watch our design from the system level to the gate level.
VHDL is a text based programming language.

While implementing a system in VHDL, we consider two major aspects. One is the external view of the system and the other is the internal view. To represent these two, we have entity and architecture in VHDL programming. Hence, architecture in VHDL provides the internal structure (or functioning or logic) of the system to be designed.

There are 4 main differences between C programming and VHDL programming. C is a mid-level language, while VHDL is a hardware description language. C can handle one type of instruction, while VHDL can handle two. C does not require as much resource usage as VHDL. C can be written only with logical thinking, but a VHDL programmer must understand hardware circuits.
Yes. A little knowledge of programming is needed to learn VHDL. Knowledge in digital electronics is a must. One should be in a position to understand the working of various combinational and sequential circuits to expertise in VHDL.
Vhdl has got three models - programming styles. 1. data flow model 2. behavioral model 3. structural model.
VHDL is a system level programming language and Verilog is a circuit level programming language. VHDL can be viewed as a language written in programmer's point of view. In that manner it is better than VHDL. For example, to write a code for a simple combinational circuit, we need to define from the circuit level in Verilog i. e. FET level. But in VHDL, we can directly take several smaller components and combine them to trealize the circuit. That means, one need not have a knowledge of analog circuits to design something in VHDL. He only needs to know the behavior of the desired design.
VHDL is not any software. It is a programming language. One should learn how to program using VHDL. The supporting software tools may be downloaded from some of the EDA Tools providers on trial basis. Aldec is providing the student version for free.
These are Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used to design and implement electronic circuits virtually using a computer. Programming languages like VHDL, Verilog can be used for this purpose.
A function is a subprogram written in VHDL. This program can be called and used in other programs.
CAD means computer aided design. CAD tools are used to design chips virtually on a computer. Programming languages like VHDL, Verilog, System C, Syatem Verilog are used for this purpose. The successful designs of these languages can be fabricated into chips.
