int main returns an int value at the time of termination. Mostly applications designed through c++ have int as return type for main So that users may get relevant error codes. void main does not returns anything and programs terminate. Usually used while teaching(at my school too). But that does not changes coding even a bit.

There is no such difference in those two Void main() tells your program to return void(nothing) to your operating system after completing the program execution where as int main() returns an integer value to your operating system after completing the execution of program
