Yeah I'm learning VB right now and it took me like 2 weeks to really get my bearings. Once I did I started to blow through what I needed to do, but the first two weeks were rough.

int main (void) is the entry point of the application. I'm guessing you guys haven't talked about functions yet?

The "int main (void) {.....}" is where the operating system starts loading your program. The int means that your program can return a number. Usually a program will return 0 if it has successfully completed, and a non-zero value if something has gone wrong. The (void) means we aren't passing in anything to your program. Eventually you'll learn how you to pass arguments in to a program. A lot of the classic DOS and linux commands are really just tiny programs that take some sort of input and do something with it.
