Everything about Nullable type
Feature of some programming languages
Nullable types are a feature of some programming languages which allow a value to be set to the null value instead of the usual possible values of the data type. In statically typed languages, a nullable type is an option type, while in dynamically typed languages, equivalent behavior is provided by having a single null value. Wikipedia →
