This is interesting function which you can use to terminate your programs. Syntax of it is very easy :

Code:

abort();

If you need to stop your program whenever, you can use it.
Here is one simple example of how to use it :

Code:

#include <iostream>

#include <cstdio>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

  string s;

  cin>>s;

  if (s=="abort")

    abort();

  else

    cout<<"You did't enter abort !"<<endl;

    system("pause");

}

If user enters "abort" program is going to terminate.
That's all.

you are can just return with a simple number of choice so you can tell how the program exited. Abort doesn't return anything after closing the program

Yeah you are right return can be used in main() function in C or C++.
