The designers of Verilog wanted a language with syntax similar to the C programming language so that it would be familiar to engineers and readily accepted. The language has a pre-processor like C, and the major control keywords such as "if", "while", etc are similar. The formatting mechanism in the printing routines and language operators (and their precedence) are also similar.
The language differs in some fundamental ways. Verilog uses Begin/End instead of curly braces to define a block of code. The definition of constants in verilog require a bit width along with their base, consequently these differ. Verilog doesn't have structures, pointers, or recursive subroutines either. Finally, the concept of time —so important to a HDL— won't be found in C.
