Can you explain when we should use int main() versus void main()?

Hi Gangadhari,

In C, you should use int main() because main is supposed to return an integer status code to the operating system.

Example:

int main() {
    return 0;
}

void main() is not standard C, so it is best to avoid it.

If you have more questions, I am here to help 😊
