Int is return type of our output Suppose a function int func() { Int c = 10; return c; } Here we return some variable c that has integer datatype So we use int data type for our function But supposed function like this void func(){ cout << "Hello"; } Here we return nothing not use return keyword. So we used void here

Palakh Koyalkar We use int main(), when we are returning int data to main(). With int as return type we also write return 0; at the end of program to show that program executes successfully as main() returns value to OS. And use void main() , when main() is not returning any value (data) .
