   i am using an online tutorial and it suddenly went from using main to void
   main without telling me why. could someone please explain the difference?

There is a recent thread on this topic check out DJ's server and search the
archive.  Basically your tutorial is wrong on both counts.  Main should always
be declared "int main( void )  -or-  int main( int argc, char **argv )" though
various people espoused in the thread as to "void main()  -and-  main()" 
being harmless.  Check out the thread for more depth.
