Null Pointer

NULL pointer:

NULL pointer is a pointer which is pointing to nothing. NULL pointer points the base address of segment.

Examples of NULL pointer:

1. int *ptr=(char *)0;

2. float *ptr=(float *)0;

3. char *ptr=(char *)0;

4. double *ptr=(double *)0;

5. char *ptr=’\0’;

6. int *ptr=NULL;

We cannot copy any thing in the NULL pointer.

Example:

What will be output of following c program?

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

char *str=NULL;

strcpy(str,"c-pointer.blogspot.com");

printf("%s",str);


return 0;

}

Output: (null)
