It's probably easier to approach if you've designed logic hardware
by hand first. There you're working with the physical implementation, and
you can see it on a schematic or a block diagram.
Once you've done that, it becomes easier to keep in mind the
physical implementation that a block of Verilog or VHDL will generate.
Sometimes a simpler-appearing syntax requires extra logic to implement it.
