Answer 1

Basically the statement Environment.Exit(0) tells the Operating system that this is a "clean" exit. There are other numbers as well each with a different meaning like Environment.Exit(1)

However one thing to note is that the "Main" has been declared as returning nothing "void", so the exit code will really not have a meaning to it.

Just in case you wanted to know more about the different exit codes have a look here
