Hi guys!
I want to write the verilog code for a 8-bit gray counter. I added in 
attach the code and the testbech. For some reason I cannot understand, I 
cannot see as outputs the counting, I have only "z" value as output. 
Please could you help me? Thank you very much!

Thank you! I solved the problem. I want that the counter stops when it 
reaches the maximum value until I give a new clear signal. Hence, I 
added an "if" but it doesn't work because the counter keeps counting and 
then stops when it reaches "10000000". Could you help me?
The code is presented here


1
 module gray_counter (clk, clear, count, out);

2


3
input clk, clear, count; 

4
output wire [7:0] out;

5


6
wire clk;

7
wire clear;

8
wire count;

9
reg [7:0] temp_out;

10


11
always @ (posedge clk)

12
begin

13
  if(clear) 

14
    temp_out <= 8'b00000000;  

15
  else if(count && temp_out != 8'b11111111) 

16
    temp_out <= temp_out + 1'b1;

17
end

18


19
assign out = {temp_out[7], (temp_out[7]^temp_out[6]), (temp_out[6]^temp_out[5]), (temp_out[5]^temp_out[4]), (temp_out[4]^temp_out[3]), (temp_out[3]^temp_out[2]), (temp_out[2]^temp_out[1]), (temp_out[1]^temp_out[0])};

endmodule //end module gray_counter

I tried to write
1
  else if(count && out != 8'b11111111)

2
    temp_out <= temp_out + 1'b1;

instead of
1
  else if(count && temp_out != 8'b11111111)

2
    temp_out <= temp_out + 1'b1;

and now it seems working but I cannot understand why.
