I am relatively new to Stackoverflow and Java, but I have a little experience in C. I liked the very clean way of C exiting the programs after a malfunction with the ‘exit()’ function.

I found a similar function System.exit() in Java, what differs from the C function and when should I use a ‘System.exit()’ best instead of a simple ‘return’ in Java like in a void main function?

    System.exit() will terminate the jvm initilized for this program, where return; just returns the control from current method back to caller
