Hi Guru here.......my question is....... Is it necessary to
start the execution of a program from the main() in C?

Answer Posted / kumar

we can execute the program without main() also,but according
to the standardization of 'c' we must write the main
function.main is called as start-up function......during
compilation there will be a _start function by which the
execution starts.this _start calls main,after main execution
it returns to the _start function then it starts the
execution of the remaining code............
