hey guys homework help

i have the following program which makes a finite state machine.it compiles but doesnt simulate what could be wrong?this is the code i came up with for he question

This is an exercise in using finite state machines.

Part I

We wish to implement a finite state machine (FSM) that recognizes two specific sequences of applied input symbols,

namely four consecutive 1s or four consecutive 0s. There is an input w and an output z. Whenever w = 1 or

w = 0 for four consecutive clock pulses the value of z has to be 1; otherwise, z = 0. Overlapping sequences are

allowed, so that if w = 1 for five consecutive clock pulses the output z will be equal to 1 after the fourth and fifth

pulses. Figure 1 illustrates the required relationship between w and z.

the code

module part1a(clk, in, reset, out);

input clk, in, reset;

output [8:0] out;

reg [8:0] out;

reg [8:0] state;

reg count = 0;

parameter zero=0, one=1, two=2, three=3,four=4,five=5,six=6,seven=7,eight=8;

always @(state)

begin

case (state)

zero:

out = 9'b000000001;

one:

out = 9'b000000010;

six:

out = 9'b001000000;

seven:

out = 9'b010000000;

eight:

out = 9'b100000000;

default:

out = 9'b000000000;
