What's the difference between null pointers and NULL?
Someone told me that I shouldn't write "NULL pointer" with capital letters, because a null pointer and NULL are different terms. And that NULL is a "null pointer constant". What's the meaning of this? Does this have anything to do with some systems allowing a different representation of the null pointer other than zero? Can NULL be something other than zero?
