yeah. I got that. I was just wondering why void would be inserted there.

When that is the case, you can define main differently. int main(int argc, char *argv[ ]) { so argc is the number of command line arguments and argv will hold the actual command line arguments. btw, argv[0] is always the name of the program executable itself.

You should code int main( ). I've actually seen void main(void) in C textbooks, and yes it will work, but technically it is incorrect to do so, because the operating system is expecting an integer to be returned from your C program. ************************<WBR>**A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
