nil、Nil、NULL、NSNull、[NSNull null] in Objective-C

很多初学者对nil,Nil,NULL,NSNull,[NSNull null]这五个概念很混淆!先借用网上的解释:

nil: A null pointer to an Objective-C object.
 

Nil: A null pointer to an Objective-C class.
 

NULL: A null pointer to anything else. (primitive type or absence of data)
 

NSNull: A class defines a singleton object used to represent null values in collection objects (which don't allow nil values. nil mean the end of the collection).
 

[NSNull null]: The singleton instance of NSNull.


Technically they're all the same, but in practice they give someone reading your code some hints about what's going on; just like naming classes with a capital letter and instances with lowercase is recommended, but not required.
If someone sees you passing NULL, they know the receiver expects a C pointer. If they see nil, they know the receiver is expecting an object. If they see Nil, they know the receiver is expecting a class. Readability;
nil和NULL从字面意思来理解比较简单,nil是一个对象,而NULL是一个值,我的理解为nil是将对象设置为空,而NULL是将基本类型设置为空的。而且我们对于nil调用方法,不会产生crash或者抛出异常。
看一下用法
NSURL *url = nil;
Class  class = Nil;
int *pointerInt = NULL;
nil是一个对象指针为空,Nil是一个类指针为空,NULL是基本数据类型为空。

 这五个概念很容易混淆,在一些场合下他们具有同样的用法。首先解释一下“空指针”意思,空指针是指该指针未指向一块有意义的内存区。如int *p; int *p = NULL;

[cpp] view plaincopy
  1. NSObject *obj1;  
  2. if (obj1 != nil) {  
  3.     NSLog(@"object is not nil");  
  4. }else{  
  5.     NSLog(@"object is nil");  
  6. }  
  7. testClass *c1;  
  8. if (c1 != Nil) {  
  9.     NSLog(@"class is not Nil");  
  10. }else{  
  11.     NSLog(@"class is Nil");  
  12. }  
[cpp] view plaincopy
  1. int *money;  
  2. if (money != NULL) {  
  3.     NSLog(@"money is not NULL");  
  4. }else{  
  5.     NSLog(@"money is NULL");  
  6. }  
[cpp] view plaincopy
  1. NSObject *obj1 = [[NSObject alloc] init];  
  2. NSObject *obj2 = [NSNull null];  
  3. NSObject *obj3 = [NSObject new];  
  4. NSObject *obj4;  
  5. NSArray *arr1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4, nil];  
  6. NSLog(@"arr1 count: %ld", [arr1 count]);    //count: 3 因为obj=nil,在加入obj4时就结束添加对象  
  7.   
  8. NSObject *obj1;  
  9. NSObject *obj2 = [[NSObject alloc] init];  
  10. NSObject *obj3 = [NSNull null];  
  11. NSObject *obj4 = [NSObject new];  
  12. NSArray *arr2 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4, nil];  
  13. NSLog(@"arr2 count: %ld", [arr2 count]);   //count: 0,因为obj1=nil,所以后面的对象没有添加进去  

[NSNull null]通常作为占位符作用,如下:

[cpp] view plaincopy
  1. NSObject *obj1 = [NSNull null];  
  2. NSArray *arr1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"One", @"TWO", obj1,@"three",nil];  
  3. for (NSString *str in arr1) {  
  4.     NSLog(@"array object: %@", str);  
  5. //result:One、Two、<NULL>、three  
  6.   
  7. NSObject *obj1 = [NSNull null];  
  8. NSArray *arr1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"One", @"TWO", obj1,@"three",nil];  
  9. for (NSString *str in arr1) {  
  10.     if (str != [NSNull null]){  
  11.         NSLog(@"array object: %@", str);  
  12.     }  
  13. }//result:One、Two、three
