Error (10500): VHDL syntax error at counter.vhd(39) near text "<"; expecting "(", or "'", or "."

y < = 0;
Did you get an idea why the parser sees a "<" token where you seems to write a "<="? If not, delete and rewrite the line, preferably thinking about required VHDL syntax.
After fixing this trivial error, Quartus will possibly complain about reading an out signal.
