Hi, Dave. Just poping in and I saw your message… As far as I know, VOID is DEFined as "int." The only reason that they use VOID at all is to let others know that the int value returned isn't used… One of the fundamental principles of C is that every "subroutine" is a function– and all of C's functions ALWAYS return a value.
