Verilog case ignoring conditional

EDIT: I seemed to have gotten the original program working by always adding an else after an if statement, and not putting 'Y = Y' for example. So in this case would be B: Y = B instead.



I'm unsure the reason its working now though, seems like something I don't have the correct experience to understand.



I am trying to emulate a state machine in verilog, but I am having problems understanding a specific problem. The original code was much larger, but I cut it down to what is producing an effect I cannot explain. (Not an actual implementation, just example showing my problem)



I have 'Y' store the "state" im in, and will have it change depending on its state, and conditionals. My problem is that the line for case A:, ignore the conditional and makes Y = B, even though enter is always low. I have 'ts' output whether it is in fact in the state B.



If i replace 'enter == 1' with '0 == 1', i get the same output.



module ComboCheckF(Clock,enter,ts); 

input Clock, enter;
output ts;
reg[3:0] Y;
parameter A = 4'b0000, B = 4'b0001;

initial Y = A;

always @(enter,Y)
begin
case(Y)
A: if (enter == 1) Y = B;
else Y = Y;
B: Y = Y;
default: Y = 4'bxxxx;
endcase
end


assign ts=(Y==B);


endmodule


and the output (can ignore clock, was leftover)

    B is missing form your sensitivity list. To prevent errors like this use always @( * )
