Creating rows of asterisks???

hey there.

So I am in need of some help with a project I have.

We need to create a program that will print out rows of asterisks as tall as defined by the user.
For example, if the user entered, 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 10 0, my program should print:

Code:

       *
       *
       *
       *
       *
       *
   *   *
  ***  *
 ***** *
********

1 star in the first row, 2 in the 2nd, and so on.

so far all i have is that i need to place the numbers in an array.....I am very lost and any insight would be appreciated!
