How do I get my nested loop to make my number pyramid the way I want it?

[David Vach]

Hi, so I have to create a number pyramid using nested loops for homework. I am very new to nested loops and am still not quite clear on how they work completely. My objective is to make this pyramid using nested loops:
-----1-----
----333----
---55555---
--7777777--
-999999999-

however I have only been able to get this:

----------1
--------333--
------55555----
----7777777------
--999999999--------


I think I am on the right track but I am not sure where to go from here.
Here is the code I currently have:

public class NumberPyramid
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        for(int i=1; i<=9; i+=2)
        {
            for (int j = 11; j > i; j--)
            {
                System.out.print("-");
            }
            for(int j=1; j<=i; j++)
            {
                System.out.print(i);
            }
            for (int j = 1; j < i; j++)
            {
                System.out.print("-");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

I got the solution if anyone in the future ever needs it. Here you are

public class NumberPyramid
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
        {
            for(int i=1; i<=9; i+=2)
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < (11 - i) / 2; j++) 
                {
                    System.out.print("-");
                }
                for(int j=1; j<=i; j++)
                {
                    System.out.print(i);
                }
                for (int j = 0; j < (11 - i) / 2; j++) 
                {
                    System.out.print("-");
                }
                System.out.println();
            }
    }
}
