Difference between a null pointer and a void pointer, Computer Engineering

Assignment Help:

A NULL pointer is a pointer of any type whose value is zero. A void pointer is a pointer to an object of an unknown type, and is guaranteed to have sufficient bits to hold a pointer to any object. A void pointer is not guaranteed to have sufficient bits to point to a function (by in general practice it does).
