A Bad attempt at a Priority Circuit

architecture bad of priority  is

begin

-- priority circuit, Y7 highest priority input

-- Y1 is lowest priority input

-- uses just one when-else concurrent statement.

dout <= "111"   when (y7 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "110"   when (y6 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "101"   when (y5 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "100"   when (y4 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "011"   when (y3 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "010"   when (y2 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "001"   when (y1 = '1') else "000";

dout <= "000" ; 

end process;
