Depends.

In C if you don't specify a return type, int was assumed.

In C++ there is no default return type.

You are always better off specifying the correct return type. Remember, a function is an instance of it's return type. When you assign a function call to a variable, the compiler checks the return type to see if calling the function will produce a value that can be assigned to that variable.

function return int by default.

@purush123:

Not in C++.

[swapnali143]

function return int by default in C..
But if you want to return any other value then you have to specify it in Function Protype
