This was intended as a meme but is actually a good representation of what "Null" is. In C#, when you declare string s = "My shit"; it means that "s" is a reference to a memory location that holds the data "My shit". string s = null; means that the reference "s" exists but it's not pointing to any object, as in it holds nothing.

NULL is nothing. It means theres nothing there. Often its just a place holder before something is there. Say u have a bunch of variables of animals. U might set them to NULL before u know what they are. Then u might check if they are NULL before u add an animal to them. Things are initialized as NULL.
