Is void a type?

[NickThissen]

Hey,

This is a question that popped up in class. We need to write some source documentation and someone consistently wrote something like:

Methods:
GetImage(): of type Image.
GetName(): of type string.
Move(): of type void.
etc...

Now, this seemed weird to me, reading "of type void" makes it sound like void is a type like any other (string, int, etc).

Is it?

Is this question open to interpretation, or is there an 'official definition'?

It's not a big deal, but the same person likes to be very strict in the documents, using the exact terminology for everything (which I do encourage), so I found it odd to see 'of type void', as I've never seen void as a type... Am I wrong?

void is a type. That is official.

From the MSDN documentation for the void keyword:

void is an alias for the .NET Framework System.Void type.
