To clarify and amplify what Mark wrote, the character with value zero
used to be named NUL (single L) in the old ASCII charts that I remember,
and I have also seen it called Nil. Apparently some people re-use the
macro NULL for this as in the code that Jörn showed, but to me doing so
is very confusing. I generally use 0 (no quotes) as Mark suggests, while
others use '\0' which explicitly tells the compiler that this is a char.
