In Windows 7, is not behaving as expected (at least in my computer)

the endl appear not to be working you can see the Argument1, an Argument2 but not into a new line (Why)? everything is pileup together

@SuperFeimer according to stroustrup, NO! just NO!.

[SuperFeimer]

@t2thei no, main should return a value! main is an integer function, it should return an integer.

@Techn0Junki3

some compilers might complain about the void but main() doesn't need a return 0; even if it's int main(). the standard says it, main() doesn't need a return.

@Techn0Junki3 The only time you need main to return a value is if you need another program to know if your program did something properly. But since there is no way someone that isn't working on a MAJOR program you don't need it. Things that return value are usually only used in OS functions.

isnt void main() considered bad programming????
