The Dink Network

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not the "void"s that appear between the parentheses here are necessary or if the script works just as well without them:

void main( void )
{
...
}

Thank ye in advance for your answers.

I haven't used void for a long while and no complications thus far. Sometimes scripts even work without

void main()
{
}

It is not required... but I like it anyway. Heck, I think this even works correctly:

void main (
{
...
}

Does this work too?

int main()
{
...
}

No... I'm fairly positive that the engine looks for the first void to figure out where procedures start.

I think a normal C program requires
void main(void)
while a C++ program works with
void main()

'void' is what it means: an emptyness. so void would give the same result as nothing at all.

void means the return-value of the procedure/function/method (the name changes every decade or so ) is void though if the DinkC engine uses it to determine where procedures start in a DinkC script, it would be better to place them there anyway even if they don't serve any purpose for the functioning of the script.

cypry: void main() is perfectly valid in a C program, and a C++ program requires main() to be of type int.
