### Null

#### Synopsis

    var
      Null: Void absolute 0;

#### Description

`Null` is a predefined variable at address `nil`. `Null` can be passed as a "void" argument to a procedure, function or operator expecting a "var" parameter. Note: Make sure they can handle this case, otherwise this is likely to cause an exception and the program will be terminated. Since `Null` is an L-value, it can be taken as "nil-reference".

#### Conforming to

`Null` is a Borland Delphi extension.

#### Example

    program NullDemo;
    type
      PString = ^String;
    var
      Com1: String (25) = 'This is an amazing number';
      Com2: String (25) = 'This is a boring number';

    procedure FooBar (Foo: Integer; var Comment: PString);
    begin
      if Odd (Foo) then
        WriteLn ('FooBar:', Foo, ' is odd')
       else
        WriteLn ('FooBar:', Foo, ' is even');
      if @Comment <> nil then
        if not Odd (Foo) then
          Comment := @Com1
        else
          Comment := @Com2
    end;

    var
      S: String (25);
      P: PString value @S;

    begin
      { FooBar allows you to leave out variables
        for any information you might not need }
      FooBar (1, Null);
      { But FooBar is flexible, after all }
      FooBar (6, P);
      WriteLn ('FooBar said about 6: `', P^, '''')
    end.
