No. The exit() function is used to exit your program and return control to the operating system. The return statement is used to return from a function and return control to the calling function. If you issue a return from the main() function, you are essentially returning control to the calling function, which is the operating system. In this case, the return statement and exit() function are similar.
it is not possible to use the "cxit()" is same as "return".there is lot of difference between those 2. "exit()"is used to exit from the program. where as return is used to return the value to the "calling function".
