On running the above code we get the errors as methods of associative array returns int type which is 32 bit whereas “if” condition expects 1 bit, verilator does not support truncating and appending additional bits when there is a change in data size.

This error can be cleared by performing static casting to bit within the logical operator “if”. i.e., if(bit'(abc.exists ("vadodara")))
