void is a datatype. the main function does not return a value if you use "void" . For other datatypes like int,float you have to return something at the end.. This not just or c++.

as far as I know, int is used for main function to return the status of the program(i.e. return 0; means program ran to the end successfully) I don't think void main in for c++
