for example 123, it should display

Keep breaking the problem down.

void printNumber(int num)
{
}
void printStars(int num)
{
}

int histogram(int ans)
{
  int ctr;
  for (ctr=1; ctr<=ans; ctr++)
  {
    printNumber(ctr);
    printStars(ctr);
    printf("\n");
  }
}

I would think the nut would come down to this line. What do you believe this is doing vs what is it really doing?

39	        num = num % right(ctr-1);
