Array literals are syntactically similar to C initializers, but with the replicate operator ( {{}} ) allowed. The nesting of braces must follow the number of dimensions, unlike in C.

  1 `timescale 1ns/100ps
  2 module array_literals ();
  3 
  4 byte a [0:1][0:2] = '{'{0,1,2},'{3{8'h9}}};
  5 
  6 initial begin
  7   $display ("a [0][0] = %d", a[0][0]);
  8   $display ("a [0][1] = %d", a[0][1]);
  9   $display ("a [0][2] = %d", a[0][2]);
 10   $display ("a [1][0] = %d", a[1][0]);
 11   $display ("a [1][1] = %d", a[1][1]);
 12   $display ("a [1][2] = %d", a[1][2]);
 13    #1  $finish;
 14 end
 15 
 16 endmodule

 a [0][0] = 0
 a [0][1] = 1
 a [0][2] = 2
 a [1][0] = 9
 a [1][1] = 9
 a [1][2] = 9
