We don't give away free homework here. Post the code that's you've made and tell us what's wrong with it.
When you show that you've put some effort in it, you'll get help!

[sureronald]

That was a good one but unfortunately we don't offer help at such a general level more so when you don't show any effort. Just show us a little bit of code that you have written and we might help you!

Tell you guys a joke. I know a friend who gave the below answer to a similar programming assignment:

printf("*\n");
printf("***\n");
printf("*****\n");
printf("*******\n");
printf("*********\n");

Good idea. Optimized solution (to have a star easely, faster with factor 10 or more):

printf(
"*\n"
"***\n"
"*****\n"
"*******\n"
"*********\n"
);

Or if you want to type in even less characters:

printf("*\n***\n******\n*******\n*********\n");

I typed 8 characters less (double quotes) and saved myself up to 3 seconds of time :)

LoL! I can help. But won't if you don't try something yourself.

Show us some of your codes. Or any idea that you have! =)

Hmm .. or even less

puts("*\n***\n******\n*******\n*********");

following code will surely solve your problem

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main()
{
 int i,j;
 clrscr();
 /*change value of of 'i' & get as much stars u want*/
 for(i=1;i<8;i=i+2)
 {
  printf("\n\n");
  for(j=0;j<i;j++)
  {
   printf("*");
  }
 }
 getch();
}
