Re: [Dev-C++] Error using void main (void)

That's what it should say as it really should be=20

int main() or with all the other goodies inside the brackets.  If you =
read across it says"int main void for the two ( )'s for the void here!

  Warnings are mostly ignorable, or nice if you like to write clean =
portable code.  main should always return an int as that's the exit =
value that the executable gives to DOS/Win/Linux upon completion.  =
Source should compile and run with a void main.  However, main's exit =
value will then always be 0 and therefore useless to test for a certain =
execution completion status.

    Hi, all!

    I tried to use the following expression in Dev-C++

    void main (void)

    The compiler give a warning message "output of main is not int". =
Something like that. Although it gives this warning it compilies well. =
Why this happens? Main should always have a return type?

    Tks in advance!
