Question
what is difference between null pointer and void pointer
A pointer is a variable.
When you store the value NULL in a pointer, it is called a NULL pointer.
If the pointer's type is void, then it is a void pointer.
Example of NULL pointer:
int *num = NULL;
Here num is a NULL pointer.
Example of void pointer:
void *temp;
Here temp is a void pointer.
