A variable must have some space (size of variable) to store some value in it. Void has no size and thus a variable declared as void can't store any value in it.

We declare for variables for user defined or predefined data type. But void is a return type which returns nothing. It not possible to assign a variable to a return type. Becuse we declare variables for datatypes only not for returntype.

As we know void is keyword not a datatype. It does return nothing.

The void is primitive data type in C. The "void" can only used as return type for function definition. It cann't used for variable declaration.

The "void" is used as a data type but we can not use it for variable declaration in 'C'.

In c void means the variable we contains null value, which is not possible.

1. void is fundamental data type, which always return null(i.e void).
2. value can not be assigned to void because we cannot assign value to null, as it is already null, so it does not accept
void v = 0;
3. void is used to show return type of function only.
