This is the part of my code for histogram segmentation. It has to read data from in[j] into a temporary variable n which is the intensity of that pixel.Then it has to increment the nth bit of the hist vector by 1 so that at the end the vector hist has the requires histogram values.But the loop is RUNNING FOREVER.Can someone help with this please?

always@(posedge clk)
begin
for (i=0;i<=2;i=i+1)
begin
for (j=0;j<=2;j=j+1)
begin
n = in[j];
hist[n] = hist[n]+1'b1;
end
end
end
 

using the following to "test" your code in Modelsim 10.1b. It ran fine for the 256 clock cycles.

I'm assuming this is non-synthesizable testbench code, because there are blocking statements in the always block. I attempted to synthesize the code to see what those blocking statements would generate but the results didn't make much sense. I used ISE 13.3, probably should have used Quartus II 12 as I've had issues with ISE RTL schematic generation.
 
Yes the mistake was with declarations.i declared the variables i,j as one bit register instead of 2 bits.So, the loop for j never closed.Anyway thanks.

Im a beginner in verilog.It was a problem with declaration.I tried your code too.Thanks for the help.
