    Who voted void? And have they been members for more than .21 nanoseconds?

    My answer: either way you return int. void just makes the returned value undefined.

    Prelude,

    >Who voted void? And have they been members for more than .21 nanoseconds?

    300 gazillion posts, or something like that, and you can still sense the "void main()" question. It's a gift, I swear.

    P.S. to ygfperson: Exactly! And, it's the "undefined" part that should scare the whoopie out of folks. (Hope I didn't offend anyone.)

    void main is the best. I love void main. In fact if I use int main I get stomach aches and begin to vomint. I also use tons of global variables, magic numbers, I fail to include comments, I use goto statements, and I consistently have loops that iterate thousands of times sending copies of large data structures into functions without using pointers!

    void main? goto? *sigh* when will you guys learn that longjmp is the only way to fly

    How come this wasnt closed already?

    What about:

    main()


    Is that acceptable? or should it be int main()?

    Not in C++ it isn't.

    I have to know who they are to dole out punishment accordingly.

    Ahem. You also forgot insane function pointers. I wrote a program one time that used only a simulated goto-like effect through the heavy use of function pointers. If I find it I'll post it, just looking at that source would make your eyes bleed.
