Iam a newbe, so I may get somethings wrong.

Why declare the function then, define it, just have the function above
main.

Does declaring a const .... make the parameter readonly (ie
unchangable)???

Syntax of return is return exp;

The function is declared to return void (ie it does not return
anything), so no need of return anyway.

Just my Aus 2 cents...
