That is the value that gets returned to the operating system.
at the end of main you have return 0, but if you use the exit function, you skip that return statement, but you need to return a value because the os is expecting one.
What ever you pass to exit will be returned to the os.
when i use return and exit(x), they return values - i undersatnd that the ones to use are 1 and 0 indicating error and success respectivly. So how does the os (windows in my case) respond. I have never seen it take action as a result of adjusting the return value.

maybe its because this is c++ and the function is prototyped like this.....
void exit(int);
therefore a call to exit() will result in a function not found error.
