Why can't we use void main insted of int main as taught in our school

Answer 1

I don't know why your school teaches that, becaude void main doesn't work in the first place in c++ as the main function.
What IDE does your school use? Are you sure your school is teaching c++ and not somrthing like java?

Answer 2

I think that may be Java

Answer 3

Even in our skl they use void main as in the beginning for easy programs the return function is not needed. So void main is sufficient for all beginner programs

Answer 4

void main is applicable in both java nd c++. in java u hv to define it with a static variable where as it is not the same in c++. Its like in java :- "public static void main" were as in c++ its just void main. I hv been usong bth of them, java in school nd c++ in college now

Answer 5

A lot of issues between IDE's. Some allow void, others do not. Void is typically meant for Java, but some IDE's that can run Java OR C++ have some crossing that causes confusion.
