i have a question which is quite simple but yet complicated
for me
my question is why do we use void, if it does not return
anything to the compiler?
if it is used for normal display it can also be done by
what is called Console.Write() or Consol.WriteLine() and if
i do not use void with my method then my compiler throws me
an error. if i return a value say integer then i write
public int fun() display of the result can also be done
here
then why is it so necessary to use void with a function and
why so compiler throw us an error if v don't use void
return type?

Just to add on that,
i guess, Compiler basically looks the pre-defined syntax or
format rather than just the keyword, like say, it parses
function as ACCESS MODIFIER RETURNTYPE FUNCTION() e.g.
public void test(). Here ACCESS MODIFIER is optional,
becuase bydefault it is PRIVATE, but return type is
mandatory, that is why, eventhough you don't return any
value, it is mandatory to instruct compilter that, the
function does not return anything.
