The return Statement

Line 10

return 0; // indicate that program ended successfully

is one of several means we’ll use to exit a function. When the return statement is used at the end of main, as shown here, the value 0 indicates that the program has terminated successfully. The right brace, }, (line 11) indicates the end of function main. According to the C++ standard, if program execution reaches the end of main without encountering a return statement, it’s assumed that the program terminated successfully—exactly as when the last statement in main is a return statement with the value 0. For that reason, we omit the return statement at the end of main in subsequent programs.
