    "Nothing is no thing,[1] denoting the absence of something. Nothing is a pronoun associated with nothingness.[1]

    In nontechnical uses, nothing denotes things lacking importance, interest, value, relevance, or significance.[1] Nothingness is the state of being nothing,[2] the state of nonexistence of anything, or the property of having nothing."

    IN your case Nothing = NULL but for an object.
