When we return a data into void type type cast most be need & assign the value into another variable. Void means nothing we cant assign any value into the void type.

Void means empty (or nthing) so we use void main () function intialy in any program whcih means we don't return any value because it is void, but if we use int main() than we have to use 'return 0' .
So void can not be used.
So void can not be used.

Obviously this is correct question. A variable does not have a return type and void is a return type, so this is syntex error.

void is a primary data type and since it does not return anything it cannot be used for declaration of a variable
or
if void is to used then it should be declared as pointer but not variable.

I think we cant declare variable with void datatype. We can only use void with function or declaring pointer i.e (void*)
So it gives the error.
So it gives the error.

The output of this program will return some error in
Line 4: error: variable or field 'v' declared void...
Line 4: error: variable or field 'v' declared void...

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
void *v = 0;
printf("%d", v);
return 0;
}
output: zero
int main()
{
void *v = 0;
printf("%d", v);
return 0;
}
output: zero

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.
