How is 5th row working?

#1

i wrote the code for this pattern it has 9 rows i.e( n=5) using for loop and it is working .
i get it that how it is working for each row except for row no 5, could you tell me how it is working for row no 5 ?

as i think it should print 4 asterisks in row 5 as row no 5 will fall in else block and it should print 9-5=4 asterisks , but instead it is printing 5 asterisk

here is the code

int n = scn.nextInt();

	int casp=n*2-1;
	for(int i=1; i<=casp;i++) {
		if(i<=casp/2) {

for(int j=1;j<=i;j++) {

			System.out.print("* ");
		}
		} else { 
			for(int k=i;k<=casp;k++) {
				System.out.print("* ");
				}
			}
		
		System.out.println();
	}

@arreyvikkytu
in the else loop we are printing from 5 to 9 so the number of element printed will be
9-5+1=5 , you get it now if you still have some doubt feel free to ask.
