+It indicates the absence of a value. If you call a method that doesn’t return anything and get its returned value, you get null back. The null data type is also used to initialize uninitialized variables with a default value.
+```swift
+ class Newton {
+ var mass = 10;
+ var acceleration;
+ func force() {
+ return mass * acceleration;
+ }
+ }
+
+ func f2() {
+ var sir = Newton();
+ // acceleration instance variable has no default value
+ // so it is automatically set to null
+ return sir.force();
+ }
+
+ func f1() {
+ var a;
+ // a is uninitialized so it has a default null value
