Question

I found strange from my point of view compiler behavior, It allows assign Boolean value to * char.

char * k= false;

Why? But after assignment * char is still not initialized. Why compilers doesn’t allows assign int value?

Answer 1

It will be implicitly converting the boolean value false to an integer with value zero and as such declaring a NULL pointer. It is effectively no different from

char* k = 0;

which is valid syntax
