# Null pointer and Void pointer

Null pointer is a special reserved value of a pointer. Formally, each specific pointer type like int * char * double * etc. has its own dedicated null-pointer value. A pointer is not pointing any address when it has a null pointer value.

null pointer is a value but void pointer is a type of var.

Example:

```
void *pointer = NULL;
```

```
int* p = 0;
```

Happy Coding :)
