Difference between Nil , nil and NULL

Difference between Nil , nil and NULL


nil is a null pointer to an Objective-C object
Nil is a null pointer to an Objective-C class. 
NULL is  a null pointer to anything else
 Actually all the three have the numeric value of 0.
  • nil == (id) 0 
  • Nil == (Class) 0 
  • NULL == (void *) 0 

simply can say that nil is a pointer to an object
    for example : 
     NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"karthik", @"prabhu", nil];
