Why are we using return instead of using getch?

getch() causes the program to pause at that point and wait for the user to press a key before the program proceeds to the return instruction and ends. Return 0 means you are returning a integer which means at the accepting end the value gotten is 0.  Note:- By the way, notice that getch() and <conio.h> are not part of the language standard. Using them makes your program nonportable.

They serve different purposes. Not all programs need user input.

We are using return instead of getch() because if we use <conio.h> u may see that the main function is in this format: Void main() But in the other case ur format will be in : Int main() So the main method is not void datatype it is int datatype the compiler accepts function with int datatypes so it must be returned......
