What is inferred latch and how it is created when it is missing else statement in if condition. Can anybody explain briefly?

Question

I tried to figure out the inferred latch and why it is needed internally, but I couldn\'t find any resources with enough detail.

Answer 1

Latches are only generated with combinational always blocks. Sequential logic will never generate a latch.
