Sentinel values have something to do with lists or sequences and work as a value that indicates the end of said list or sequence. Null Objects are specific objects that are designed to act as an object that has no specific behaviour. | |

I think the only requirement for using one is that it has the same type as an actual value, but it will not be realistically returned. So -1 could be a sentinal value for an algorithm that counts things but not for an algorithm that solves equations. | |
