Difficulty level is 4/5

Q1. Basics of C and pointers
Add your answer
Q2. Whats is the null pointer
Ans. 
A null pointer is a pointer that does not point to any memory location.
• Null pointers are used in programming languages to represent that a pointer does not point to a valid object or memory location.

• Attempting to dereference a null pointer can result in a segmentation fault or other runtime error.

• Example: int* ptr = nullptr; // ptr is a null pointer
