DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NULL AND 0, \0

NULL is a macro defined in several standard headers, 0 is an integer constant, '\0' is a character constant, and nul is the name of the character constant. All of these are *not* interchangeable:
NULL is to be used for pointers only since it may be defined as ((void *)0), this would cause problems with anything but pointers.
0 can be used anywhere, it is the generic symbol for each type's zero value and the compiler will sort things out.
'\0' should be used only in a character context.
nul is not defined in C or C++, it shouldn't be used unless you define it yourself in a suitable manner, like:
#define nul '\0'
