Verilog questions are often the first technical screen in an RTL or verification interview — testing whether you know the language well enough to reason about hardware, not just software.

This bank focuses on the distinctions that trip candidates up most: synthesizable vs. non-synthesizable constructs, blocking vs. non-blocking assignment semantics, and testbench basics.
