The void Data Type

You may notice that the void word has been added into the C program in Listing 2.2. void is a keyword for a data type in C. When a void is placed prior to a function name, it indicates that the function does not return a value.

As you have learned, the exit() function does not return any values, but, by default, the main() function does. Therefore, as shown in line 5 of Listing 2.2, void is used to modify the returning data type of main() and to make the main() function not return any value. (You'll learn more about data types in C in Hours 4, "Data Types and Names in C," and 18, "More Data Types and Functions.")
