Hi, In C, what's the difference between:

int main() {

   return 0;
}

and

int main(void) {

   return 0;
}

Thanks a lot...

Update: If main is not called recursively, then main() is the right way to go?

Why does void in C mean not void?

In strongly-typed languages like Java and C#, void (or Void) as a return type for a method seem to mean: This method doesn't return anything. Nothing. No return. You will not receive anything from this method. What's really strange is that in C, void as a return type or even as a method parameter… >>> More
