No, Void pointer is a pointer it is automatically type casted, we can assign to any pointer. But NULL pointer is a pointer which holds 0 (zero) as its content. (i.e) It doesn't pointing anything.

Void pointer gets typecasted automatically  only in C.
While is C++ we have to do it manually.
(This is the difference of Void Pointers in C And C++ )
