Answer to Question 1

A null is the absence of a value. That means that it cannot be compared to other values. It also can't really be counted or included in calculations. Despite these facts, a null is often a better choice than a zero or an empty string, because it accurately reflects the unknown status of the value rather than substituting a value that may not be accurate and may effect calculations.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
