Program stops working, pointer error i'm sure - c++

Question

I have this program, and I'm still getting used to C++ pointers, so It's probably an issue with that. But I am having the program crash when the getStructData() function is called. I've probably messed up something to do with the pointer to the struct that i've used, but I'm really not sure at this point. Any tips or help are appreciated. Thanks, and before people start the mad downvoting, this isn't a homework assignment from my school, I'm just going over other schools homework to practice during the christmas break.

You are trying to assign a value to a null pointer.
Prog1Struct *emptyStruct = '\0';//set emptyStruct to 0 (This means it points at address 0, not holding a 0 value)
cout << "setStructData called:" << endl;
c.setStructData();
cout << "getStructData called:" << endl;
//error comes here, at getStructData.
c.getStructData(2, emptyStruct);//emptyStruct is still = 0
So in the function, info = 0.
void Prog1Class::getStructData(int structureArrayIndex, struct Prog1Struct *info)
{
*info = myStruct[structureArrayIndex];//This line is trying to write to a section of memory you don't have access to (address 0)
I think you want this instead. (untested) This will make info point to myStruct[structureArrayIndex] (Not copy the contents of myStruct[structureArrayIndex] to info). Pointers only point to things (like structs or some other type), they cannot contain a struct.
info = &myStruct[structureArrayIndex];
