Is f(void) deprecated in modern C and C++? [duplicate]

by

In C, the declaration int f(void) means a function returning int that takes no parameters. The declaration int f() means a function returning int that takes any number of parameters. Thus, if you have a function that takes no parameters in C, the former is the correct prototype.

In C++, I believe int f(void) is deprecated, and int f() is preferred, as it specifically means a function that takes no parameters.
