I want someone to tell me why I can't print the star in the shape of a pyramid?

I am trying to write a code that repeats a "star" in the form of a pyramid and my code works fine but it is not a pyramid that starts from the middle with one star but starts from the right, how can I make it start from the middle?

int rows = 5;
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
    for (int j = 1; j <= rows - i; j++) {
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
    for (int k = 1; k <= i; k++) { 
        System.out.print("*");
    }
    System.out.println();
}

The output is not what I want.

‏I thought about trying to change the i in the second episode but I didn’t know how to change it to give me the correct result

>Solution :

            for (int j = 1; j <= rows - i; j++) {
                System.out.print(" ");
            }
            for (int k = 1; k <= (2 * i) - 1; k++) {
                System.out.print("*");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }

Here slightly modification to yours existing code. In second inner loop for k, where k<=i replace with k<=(2*i)-1,This ensure the number of stars in each row increases by two for each subsequent row.
