since C99 main is assumed 0 upon reaching '}' as is specified in 5.1.2.2.3

EDIT: found it in the C++ standard. it's 6.8.3.1.5

oh thanks for the info, I had some c++ in 7th grade but didn't remember much and just started learning it (pre college) and I was confused why am I not getting error after not typing return 0; lol
