What does the "exit code 10" mean in C?

Question

I am using Sublime to program in C but when the code is compiled it keeps returning [Finished in 1.1s with exit code 10]. What does that mean? What is going on?

#include <stdio.h>

void main() 
{
    int x;
    scanf("%d", &x);
    printf("%d", x);
}

As @bolov implies, in this case it means your program invokes undefined behavior. Google `C main return value` and you'll answer yourself. — Gene, Dec 05 '15 at 22:26

    #include <stdio.h>

int main() 
{
    int x;
    scanf("%d", &x);
    printf("%d", x);
    return 0;
}

main( ) does not take void as a return type.In C programming language we use int as a return type of main .Exit codes are nothing but Windows System Error Codes .I think you are using windows Operating system and for windows Operating system

exit code 10 means :The environment is incorrect.

May be your installation process was not correct . Reinstall it and run the program .

Technically, the `return 0;` statement is implicit as per the C Standard C99 and later. But the Microsoft C compiler is not C99 compliant... — chqrlie, Dec 06 '15 at 00:17
