main functions return to OS, that means program execution completes !

@Bikram sir, I feel "Welcome to GO Mock Test" must be printed since in the else statement there are no curly braces which implies that only the first statement preceding the else is a part of else and rest aren't considered as a part of else.
So as per this logic the second line should be printed by default.
