  <p>Does anyone know how a null value is represented in the memory for an object or anything. In dot net it is represented by null indicator Boolean value and value of the corresponding type (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/398966/how-is-null-represented-in-net">Refer here</a>). So does any one know how it is done in java ??</p>
