Is NULL always defined as 0?
NULL is defined as either 0 or (void*)0. These values are almost identical; either a literal zero or a void pointer
is converted automatically to any kind of pointer, as necessary, whenever a pointer is needed (although the
compiler can’t always tell when a pointer is needed).
