Pascal is statically typed and has a single null pointer compatible with all pointer types. C has a single nil pointer compatible with all pointer types. I expect that the Modula and Oberon family of languages copied Pascal, which probably copied Algol. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
