what is the difference between NULL and 0 in C language?

NULL is a macro defined in <stdio.h>

Hello, iceman! How are you, buddy?

Despite what Dick Heathfield said, it's slightly more accurate to say
that NULL is a macro defined in <stddef.h>. This is nitpick central,
after all.
Well, you said it: "This is nitpick central". I have a nit to pick.

According to the C99 standard, the macro NULL is defined in
a) <stddef.h>, /and/
b) <stdio.h>, /and/
c) <stdlib.h>
