reading interger digits independently

Hi,

I would like to know if its possible to read digits of an integer independent of each other.... for example, say i have an integer with a value "100". is it possible to assign each digit of an integer to say maybe 3 variables.. first one loaded with '1', 2nd & 3rd loaded with '0's? how do i code it if its possible?

i hope im clear

Regards

    The whole point with the type system in VHDL is that things like integer do not have individual bits that you can access. For doing that, use unsigned/signed types instead.
