main() – int or void?

Programmers generally use a

int main()

or a

void main()

Every function should return a type. Either a success status or a failure status. Even main is a function and should return a type.

It is not advisable to use void main(). It should always be int main().

A void main() means it returns no status after execution. With respect to programming, it is not a good practice!
