he code consists of a module instantiation statement, which creates an instance of the 2-
bit comparator, and an initial block, which generates a sequence of test patterns. The initial
block is a special Verilog construct, which is executed once when simulation starts. The
statements inside an initial block are executed sequentially. Each test pattern is generated
by three statements, as in

// test v e c t o r 2
test-in0 = Z'b01;
test-in1 = 2'bOO;
#200;

The first two statements specify the values for the t e s t - i n 0 and t e s t - i n 1 signals 
and the third indicates that the two values will last for 200 time units. 
The last statement, $stop, is a Verilog system function that stops the simulation and returns the control to simulation
software.
The code has no monitor. We can observe the input and output waveforms on a simulator's
display, which can be treated as a "virtual logic analyzer." The simulated timing diagram
of this testbench is shown in Figure 2.16.
Writing code for a comprehensive test vector generator and a monitor requires detailed
knowledge of Verilog. For now, this listing can serve as a testbench template for other combinational
circuits. We can substitute the uut instance and modify the test patterns according
to the new circuit. We provide a review of additional modeling and simulation-related language
constructs and demonstrate the construction of a more sophisticated testbench in
Section 7.5.
