You should check - the C language standard - the compiler documentation You can find a good summary here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2108192/what-are-the-valid-signatures-for-cs-main-function Every source is in agreement that the return type of the main function should be int.

you don't have to alter int main(){}. It's just the entry point of your program. What's important is the contents inside it.

Afaik int and void, void isn't commonly used now though. Void meaning the program doesn't 'return' anything. Int is used as a way to indicate the outcome of the program, 'return 0' meaning successfully executed and exited and any other number meaning that the program didn't execute successfully.
