Question



Which of the following statements about the main() function in C++ is incorrect?

A.

main() is the entry point of a C++ program.

B.

A C++ program can have more than one main() function.

C.

The return type of main() is always int.

D.

Command-line arguments can be passed to main().

E.

None of the above

Correct option is B

In C++, the main() function serves as the entry point of a program, and there can only be one main() function per program. Having multiple main() functions would result in a compilation error.
Important Key Points:
1. The main() function must have a return type of int and return a value (usually 0 for successful execution).
2. Command-line arguments can be passed using int argc and char* argv[] parameters in the main() function.
3. The program execution starts and ends with the main() function.
Knowledge Booster:
· Overloading main(): Not allowed; only one main() function is permitted.
· Command-Line Arguments: Provide input to the program via the terminal during execution.
· void main(): Although used in some compilers, it is not a standard in modern C++.
