Cytoprotection is a process by which chemical compounds provide protection to cells against harmful agents. For example, a gastric cytoprotectant is any medication that combats ulcers not by reducing gastric acid but by increasing mucosal protection. Examples of gastric cytoprotective agents include prostaglandins which protect the stomach mucosa against injury by increasing gastric mucus secretion.
Integer or Basic Data Types - System verilog has a hybrid of both verilog and C data types. 1  shortint - 2-state SystemVerilog data type, 16-bit signed integer. 2  int - 2-state SystemVerilog data type, 32-bit signed integer. 3  longint - 2-state SystemVerilog data type, 64-bit signed integer.
Derived types: They include (a) Pointer types, (b) Array types, (c) Structure types, (d) Union types and (e) Function types. The array types and structure types are referred to collectively as the aggregate types. The type of a function specifies the type of the function's return value.
