int main() main is a main function, whole program runs here and evrrything that you execute here will run if the code is valid you return INT because there is a thing in windows called ERROR CODE or ESCAPE CODE. this is what your code returns, a int. u do not want to tell something stupid so just read for a minute about error code and things will get clear
