I can understand what INT and STR and BOOL mean but what does
NIL mean?

[CodeScript]

I think NIL: is equivalant of C type Void i.e ()
"the void keyword specifies that the function does not return a value". - msdn

[FreezingFire]

Yes I know it means "null" but what does it stand for?

[PGWARE]

It just an empty variable/type/pointer. You can often use it to check if the value returned is empty or not.

[Sanjuro]

NIL = %%INCOME-(%%OUTGOINGS+%%Kids_Pocketmoney+%%wives_hair_doo_money)

So NIL doesn't stand for anything? Programmers just made up some letters?

[PGWARE]

The word is very common to describe 'nothing, equal to zero, without'. If you're looking for an explanation of the word >
