Print a Diamond pattern in Java using a single loop

This code is implemented and provided by Ajit Srivastava from GNIOT College, Greater Noida.
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Algorithm for this code is given below: 

 1. Make a condition for the loop
         it'll be the total no. of characters to be printed(count spaces also)
         a. count the total numbers of characters in each line
         b. count total no of lines
         c. multiply both to find the condition for the loop
   
 2. Find the if() condition for the next line(when we need to take println() method)
       a. divide the flow controlling variable(of loop) with the total number of character in each line
       b. compare it with zero
       c. if the condition becomes true print a next line using println() method

 3. At this stage we have the conditions for the loop and for the next line. Now we need to print the characters of the pattern
      a. in these conditions if we need to use those variables which are also used in loop condition, create a copy of those variable
      b. by creating copies of variables we can manipulate them and there will be no effect on main condition of loop
    
 4. Now use 'if', 'else if'(if required) and 'else' for making our pattern.

import java.util.Scanner;

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Input terms to print a Diamond: ");
        // take a term from keyboard
        int term = s.nextInt();
      
        // create a copy of term
        int copyOfterm = term;
      
        // variable for printing spaces
        int spaceCounter = 1;
      
        // loop starts
        for (int i = 1; i <= (2 * term - 1) * (term + 1); i++)
        {
            // check condition for spaces
            if (spaceCounter <= copyOfterm)
            {
                System.out.print(" ");
                spaceCounter++;
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.print("* ");
            }
          
            // check condition for next line
            if (i % (term + 1) == 0)
            {
                System.out.println();
                spaceCounter = 1;

                // check condition to get upper part of the diamond
                if(i < term *(term + 1))
                {  
                    copyOfterm--;
                }
                else
                {
                    copyOfterm++;
                }
            }
        }         // end of the loop  
      
        }         // end of main method  
  
} // end of class
