Take this written in javascript, you should be able to convert it in C for your project :)

The loops are the key, one to scan each element of the input array, and another to print as many * as the value of the array (1, 5 and 4)

var input = [1, 5, 4]; // Let's assume you already have the input array
var output = ""; // You don't need this

for (var i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
  for (j = 0; j < input[i]; j++) {
    output += "*"; // printf("*");
  }
  output += "\n"; // printf("\n");
}

console.log(output); // You don't need this
