Does Verilog have generic map like VHDL?

I am a beginner of Verilog. I am trying to build an N-bit-comparator. 
But I found no information for any generic map. I know in VHDL I can do

generic (N: integer:=4);

so that I can modify bits when I want to use this block.

If there is anything in Verilog that is similar to generic map in VHDL, 
it will help save me lots of work.

It is called parameter

1
module Sample #(parameter Width=8) (input wire [Width-1:0] DataIn)


Instanziated it is like this:

1
wire [11:0] Data;

2
Sample #(.Width(12)) InstanceName (.DataIn( Data ));
