    Description

      In the various join methods in StringUtils, the for-loop contains an if (i > startIndex) check (for an example see here, but it's present in all the join methods that take an array).
      That is unnecessary - for the first iteration, we know the condition is false, while for the other iterations, we know the condition is true. So instead, we can do this:

      • append the first element (at position startIndex)
      • for every other element (starting at position startIndex + 1), append the separator, then the element.

      It's basically the same tactic used in the Iterable version.
