But there's no return statement, so I get:

godisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreat
 main returning 0
 main returning 18
 main returning 19
 main returning 19

That's using gcc and no optimisation. With optimisation -O1:

godisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreatgodisgreat
 main returning 10
 main returning 19
 main returning 19
 main returning 19

You will probably get something different if you run it.
