What could be smallest programs in the C and C++ in terms of bytes?

Strange question, bytes of source code to bytes of executable code?

Starting with main what do you think it might look like?

What could be smallest programs in the C and C++ in terms of bytes?

What do you mean exactly? "Smallest programs" in terms of storage space? Is the question related to optimization?

Technically saying, the smallest program would be

main(){}

and does nothing.

Technically speaking, you've missed int off the front of that 😄

Lol I did that on purpose to make it look like the smallest possible one-liner. https://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/97...am#post3825313
