Does NULL and nil are equal?
- by monish
Hi Guys,
Actually my question here is does Null and nil are equal or not?
I had an Example but I am confused when they are equal when they are not.
NSNull *nullValue = [NSNull null];
NSArray *arrayWithNull = [NSArray arrayWithObject:nullValue];
NSLog(@"arrayWithNull: %@", arrayWithNull);
id aValue = [arrayWithNull objectAtIndex:0];
if (aValue == nil) {
NSLog(@"equals nil");
} else if (aValue == [NSNull null]) {
NSLog(@"equals NSNull instance");
if ([aValue isEqual:nil]) {
NSLog(@"isEqual:nil");
}
}
Here in the above case it shows that both Null and nil are not equal and it displays "equals NSNull instance"
NSString *str=NULL;
id str1=nil;
if(str1 == str)
{
printf("\n IS EQUAL........");
}
else
{
printf("\n NOT EQUAL........");
}
And in the second case it shows both are equal and it displays "IS EQUAL".
Anyone's help will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Monish.
