7,425 PointsWhy are some things declared before int main() and some things after the return?
I'm about 2 minutes into the video on Structs and still can't figure out (or must have missed) the location of where we declare variables/work with data. Why do certain parts of a program go before or after the int main()? Why wouldn't everything go in order after the main?
Thanks!
