SystemVerilog Error: variable written by continuous and procedural assignments - verilog

Question

I want to create a test bench for my ALU circuit. When i compile it, i get some errors:
module ALU_TB();
logic [7:0] A, B, w;
logic [2:0] s, n;
logic co, ci, si;
wire ov, neg, zero, gt, eq;
ALU alu8(A, B, s, si, ci, n, co, ov, zero, neg, gt, eq, w);
assign A = 8'b10000000, B = 8'b0, s = 3'b0, ci = 1'b0, si = 1'b0, n = 3'b011;
initial begin
integer i;
for (i = 0; i < 7; i = i + 1) begin
s = s + 3'b001;
repeat(8) #59 A = {A[0], A[7:1]};
#59 B = 8'b10000000; A = 8'b01011010;
repeat(8) #59 B = {~B[0], B[7:1]};
end
end
endmodule
These are the compile errors for lines 12, 13, 14, 14, 15:
** Error: (vlog-3838) variable 's' written by continuous and procedural assignments.
** Error: (vlog-3838) variable'A' written by continuous and procedural assignments.
** Error: (vlog-3838) Variable 'B' written by continuous and procedural assignments.
** Error: (vlog-3838) Variable 'A' written by continuous and procedural assignments.
** Error: (vlog-3838) Variable 'B' written by continuous and procedural assignments.
What these errors mean?

Answer 1

You are using 'A', 'B' , 'S' in continuous assignment (assign) and also in procedural block(initial). A variable cannot be used in continuous and procedural assignment at the same time.
By the way, logic of your code is not correct. For example when you assign B=0, it means B will be 0 all the time (That's why it is called continuous assignment!). But you are changing B in initial block!
It seems that you wanted to initialize signals using assign which is totally wrong. Initial blocks are used for this purpose.
And finally, put the declaration of variable 'i' outside of initial block.
integer i;
initial begin
A = 8'b10000000;
B = 8'b0;
s = 3'b0;
ci = 1'b0;
si = 1'b0;
n = 3'b011;
#1 for (i = 0; i < 7; i = i + 1) begin
// your code here
end
end
