iOS Nil and nil

[xcodeNewbie]

When I start typing "nil" in Xcode the auto-completion comes up with two options, "nil" and "Nil". I am wondering what the difference is between these two are? Thanks in advance.

Nil.


None. Nothing. Nonexistent. No difference.

Afaik, NULL, nil, null, Nil, are all the same.
I think 'nil' is the most common used.

While they are the same, the generally accepted style is to use nil when dealing with any objective-c object types, and NULL if it's a (void *). In other words, nil is the correct Objective-C style, and NULL is the correct C style.

I second this.
