I think of this in natural language like this:

1. int tall = 0; // Start with an initial value of tall = 0
2. tall < user_i; // While tall is less than user_i, do the stuff between the curly braces
3. tall++; // At the end of each loop, increment tall and then recheck against the condition in step 2 before doing another loop

And with nice indentation in your code now it's much easier to see how the for loops are nested. The inner loops are going to be run for every iteration of the outer loop.
