The return 0; returns the 0 to the operating system or
if the program was called from another the value is
returned to the calling program. The 0 says that the
program ran successfully. Any non-zero value implies
that there was an error. The calling program or
operating system can use this value. In the days of
DOS batch files, we checked to make sure a program ran
successfully, before executing another program in a
series. Similar for *NIX script files.
