    This is very easy. Your subject line contains the key. A nested for loop is simply one loop inside another, e.g.:
    Code:
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
        for (int j=0; j<10; j++)
        {
            printf("%d %d\n",i,j);
        }
    }
    
    Start with a for loop that displays any number N of *'s (hint: a printf that displays one star inside a loop will do it). Change the value of N and check the program prints the correct number of *'s.

    Then put that for loop into another for loop and vary N from 1 to the relevant maximum.

    It's as simple as that!
