If you need to know about the C language, please follow the hallway
two doors down to comp.lang.c. If you didn't know that C and C++ are
two different languages, you might want to re-read the introduction
part to your textbook.

_In C++_, there is no "void main". In C++ 'main' function (and *all
programmers know that*) returns 'int'. That is required by the C++
language International Standard. Does that answer your question[s]?

void main is illegal in C++. main must always return int.

change the main is possible or not and why?

There are two different signatures for main that the standard covers. Those
are:

int main()

and

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

The compiler might support more variants, but they all must return int.

what can change the "main" word in the c? why?

Not sure what you mean by this.

I guess he means that you can change the name of the function that
serves as an executables entry point for some compilers. Furthermore
some compilers require a different signature for the executables entry
point (like WinMain under MS Windows). Since this is platform-specific
it is off-topic here.

You can change "main" if you open the startup-code
with a hex-editor, search for "_main" and change the
string to "_mxxx" or whatever you want.

Or, if you have the assembler-source of the
starup-code, you can change it there.

But this is rather useless. No need to do it.
