The pointer literal is the keyword nullptr[.](#1.sentence-1)

It has typestd​::​nullptr_t[.](#1.sentence-2)

[*Note [1](#note-1)*:

std​::​nullptr_t is a distinct type that is neither a pointer type nor a pointer-to-member type;
rather, a prvalue of this type is a null pointer constant and can be
converted to a null pointer value or null member pointer value[.](#1.sentence-3)

See [[conv.ptr]](conv.ptr "7.3.12 Pointer conversions") and [[conv.mem]](conv.mem "7.3.13 Pointer-to-member conversions")[.](#1.sentence-4)
