So I was going through some interview questions and I came across one about void and null pointers, which claims:
a pointer with no return type is cal
The two concepts are orthogonal:
void *) is a raw pointer to some memory location.A void pointer can be null or not:
void *void_ptr1 = nullptr;
void *void_ptr2 = malloc(42);
void *void_ptr3 = new Foo; // void * can point to almost anything
void *void_ptr4 = (char*)void_ptr3 + 1; // even somewhere inside an object
A non-void pointer can also be null or not:
Foo *f = nullptr;
Foo *g = new Foo;
