Void return type and no return type
Constructor and Destructor have "no return" type not even "void".
What is difference between void return type and no return type in C++
because void also returns nothing ??
I found something written like : "For Void return value function returns nothing but still have the option to make it something else"....... Pls someone explain it what this statement means.... Thanks
I have no idea, I think the statement is not clear enough.
Anyway, functions with return type void basically mean they don't return a value. Constructors and Destructors are a bit different than functions. Constructors and Destructors can't return values, therefore, it would be unnecessary to write "void" everytime.

Constructors and Destructors are unique in not specifying a return type.
In a ctor or dtor, you _cannot_ return something, even if you would like to. All other functions you _could_ return something if you chose to do so.
If you really need to return something when constructing an object, you can use the named constructor idiom.
