This is status code which means that the code executed successfully.

the return statement is used to terminate a function. The main function should return value 0, it means EXIT_SUCCESS, and otherwise returns -1, meaning EXIT_FAILIURE

It is not really mendatory If even if you dont put return 0, still code will execute sucesfully unless you dont make any error in the code.
