Hi All,

I am going through the java tutorials on the sun web site. I noticed
that their examples for the main method has a void return type. In
other languages you tend to use an int return type and send either a 1
or a 0 to the operating sytem when exiting.

I was wondering if you are meant to do this in java and if not why
doesn't java return a value to operating system as is typical in other
 languages.

Below is a code example.

public class hello {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hello");
    }
}

Cheers
