Sr.No.	Macro & Description
1	NULL This macro is the value of a null pointer constant.
2	offsetof(type, member-designator) This results in a constant integer of type size_t which is the offset in bytes of a structure member from the beginning of the structure. The member is given by member-designator, and the name of the structure is given in type.
