return value - Understanding the MSDN _beginthreadex function example -

there's function on _beginthreadex msdn page:

unsigned __stdcall secondthreadfunc( void* parguments ) {     printf( "in second thread...\n" );      while ( counter < 1000000 )     counter++;      _endthreadex( 0 );     return 0; }

i know can value returned _endthreadex function getexitcodethread, how value returned return?

another question: doesn't _endthreadex end thread, why did put return 0 after that?

return 0 there make compiler happy. _endthreadex not return.
