NULL Pointer is a pointer which is pointing to nothing. It points the base address of segment.
In case, if you don't have address to be assigned to pointer then you can simply use NULL Pointer which is initialized with NULL value is considered as NULL pointer.

Macro is available in stdlib.h, stddef.h, locale.h. etc.,
We know that NULL represents nothing. But it should have some value. While using NULL in program we may get garbage value. So to avoid that garbage values. NULL macro defines that NULL is "0". So in program if we got any null value that will be taken as zero.
