What does the main() function do?

[Sir_Crusader]

Hello! I’ve just started taking the unreal C++ courses.

Ben has challenged me to ask the community what the Main() function does…

I think it’s the base of your code. The beginning structure. In this you’ll be able to put in the foundation of the game you’re going to code in C++.

Hopefully I’m somewhat right, I actually don’t know it at all but this is my guess.
If someone sees this would you care to explain to me what it means?

Cheers!

Yes, you are correct about your guess. Main() is just function that runs when you start the program

In C based (C, C++, C#) languages, main() is the first function that is executed in your application.

So, any code inside main is executed when your C++ application is executed.
