[SOLVED] how to find the difference between the count values.

[prashanthi999]

hello every one!!, my question actually is how can we find the difference between the count values
for eg i have a count that counts from 1 to 16 ,so 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and so on, now i need to find the difference between the second count and first count , and third count and secnd count , and fourth count and third countand so on , so my diff_count signal will be like this 1,1,1,1, ( since 2-1=1,,3-2=1,,4-3=1,, and so on ) and it keeps repeating.


here is my general counter code
