first off, prototyping isn't the most useful thing in the world.  When you
prototype you just declare the function before actually writing it.

It doesn't have to be void.
for example,

int runfunction();   //prototype

void main()
 {
 .
 .
}

int runfunction()  //actual function
 {....}
//end

this is the same as before, but without prototyping.

int runfunction()  //actual function
 {....}

void  main()
 {
 .
 .
 .
 }

//end
