A function may return a value. The return_type is the data type of the value the function returns. Some functions perform the desired operations without returning a value. In this case, the return_type is the keyword void.

You an also ommit return 0; at the end of your main function and it gets generated automatically.

In the main function it’s the “conventional” return code to the caller from an application which exited with no error. You can change this value at will, for example return 9 if you can’t read a file, return 5 if your app couldn’t connect to a database, etc..
