 Null - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer programming, null is a special value for a pointer (or other kind of reference) used to signify that the pointer intentionally does not have a target.
For example, in a vector space the null vector, is the zero vector, in set theory, the null set, is the set with zero elements, and in measure theory, a null set, is a set with zero measure.
Null fill in the vertical plane is used to prevent this.

 Null result - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which did not detect the luminiferous aether, were of this type.
This experiment's famous failed detection, commonly referred to as the null result, led to the abandonment of the various aether theories because they predicted specific properties which were not found.
In law, a null result is something lacking any legal or binding force.

Statistics is a type of data analysis whose practice includes the planning, summarizing, and interpreting of observations of a system possibly followed by predicting or forecasting of future events based on a mathematical model of the system being observed.
In statistics, a null hypothesis is a hypothesis that is presumed true until statistical evidence in the form of a hypothesis test indicates otherwise.
This experiment's famous failed detection, commonly referred to as the null result, lead to the various aether theories to be abandoned, as these theories predicted specific observations which were not found.

 Interpreting Null Results
Null hypothesis significance testing do not allow for conclusions about the likelihood that the null hypothesis is true, only whether it is unlikely that null is true.
This result provides little evidence as to the viability of the null hypothesis, suggesting the population could take the form of a medium effect favoring the tutorial group, a medium effect favoring the lecture group, or any result somewhere in between.
I prefer the terms null findings or null results to null effect as null effect suggests that there is no effect present whereas null findings or null results suggest that no effect was detected but may exist.

 Null result
Generally, a null result is the consequence of an analysis or experiment that does not detect a proposition or principle original to the analysis or experiment.
In science, it can be a result that shows none of the data which would have been expected.
In Logic, it is not a valid data value in an equation of thought.

However, in the case where the result is a null char_array this doesn't make sense because char_array's index type is the modular type size_t, and so a null range must have a lower bound greater than zero.

 Michelson Morley, Physics: WSM explains Michelson Morley, Null Result of Michelson Morley Experiment
Generally the results are held as confirming there is no Absolute Space, and thus apparently confirming Einstein's relativistic view that we can only consider the motion of the earth relative to other matter, not relative to an absolute space (which does not exist as something separate from matter).
The net result of this is that for any change in the velocity of light, there will be a corresponding change in length, such that the change will not be observable and the velocity of light will always appear to be constant.
The results of all these facts and experiments, except for one, the Michelson Morley experiment, were explained by H.A. Lorentz on the assumption that the ether does not take part in the motion of ponderable bodies, and that the parts of the ether have no relative motions at all with respect to each other.

One possibility is to compute the heights of the binary search trees resulting from inserting each permutation of 1,2,...,n into an initially empty tree.

The height method is a static method just returns the height of the node passed to it, but also handles the case if null is passed.

In 1965, Bell reformulated Einstein’s argument into a theorem that allowed the experimental investigation of this result.’ Experiments were done in the 1970’s confirm- ing quantum mechanics, but at the expense of undermin- ing the principle of local causality.
These nonlocal linkages result in a holistic description of our universe as a hologram - where the whole view is implicitly embedded in every section of the hologram.
On the other hand, the probability that a given experiment, carried out within the interval between two other complete measurements on the same system, will produce a given result, is known to depend symmetrically on the results of the measurements at the beginning and at the end of that interval (see references 2-4).
