What is the difference between 'nil' and 'null' in Go pointers?
- 'nil' is the zero value for pointers, 'null' is used for uninitialized pointers
- 'nil' is used for uninitialized pointers, 'null' is the zero value for pointers
- 'null' is not used in Go, only 'nil'
- There is no difference, they are synonyms
In Go, 'nil' is used to represent the zero value of pointers, indicating that they are not pointing to any memory address. 'null' is not used in Go, and attempting to use it will result in a compilation error. So, the main difference is that 'nil' is used for uninitialized pointers, while 'null' has no significance in Go.
