The Hexadecimal notation for null is 00. Decoding the Base64 string AA== also yields the null character. In documentation, the null character is sometimes represented as a single-em-width symbol containing the letters "NUL". In Unicode, there is a character for this: U+2400 ␀ SYMBOL FOR NULL.
The sequence \Uhhhhhhhh denotes the code point hhhhhhhh, interpreted as a hexadecimal number. Code points located at U+10000 or higher must be denoted with the \U syntax, whereas lower code points may use \u or \U. The code point is converted into a sequence of code units in the encoding of the
\0 null character (U+0000 <control-0000>) (only if the next character is not a decimal digit; else it is an octal escape sequence) \xFF character represented by the hexadecimal byte FF; The \v and \0 escapes are not allowed in JSON strings. Example code:
For example, the null character (U+0000 NULL) is used in C-programming application environments to indicate the end of a string of characters. In this way, these programs only require a single starting memory address for a string (as opposed to a starting address and a length), since the string ends once the program reads the null character.
The other implementation is to take the ASCII code produced by the key and bitwise AND it with 0x1F, forcing bits 5 to 7 to zero. For example, pressing "control" and the letter "g" (which is 0110 0111 in binary), produces the code 7 (BELL, 7 in base ten, or 0000 0111 in binary). The NULL character (code 0) is represented by Ctrl-@, "@" being ...
Null-terminated strings require that the encoding does not use a zero byte (0x00) anywhere; therefore it is not possible to store every possible ASCII or UTF-8 string. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] However, it is common to store the subset of ASCII or UTF-8 – every character except NUL – in null-terminated strings.
Most C compilers generate no code for null statements, which has historical and performance reasons. ; An empty block (compound statement) is also a NOP, and may be more legible, but will still have no code generated for it by the compiler. {} In some cases, such as the body of a function, a block must be used, but this can be empty.
In C and C++, 0 represents the null pointer. As with Boolean values, the C standard library includes a macro definition NULL whose use is encouraged. Other languages provide a specific null or nil value and when this is the case no alternative should be used. The typed pointer constant nullptr has been introduced with C++11.
