Basically endIndex takes values from 1 to array.length instead of from 0 to
{{(array.length - 1)}}
In current state it is "1-based index", not "0-based index" while Java language
uses 0-based indexes, also previous argument "startIndex" is also 0-based.
If you put valid index 0, the for loop won't run at all as it checks (i <
endIndex) like it was array's length.
Let's say you have 1 element array to join (it does not make practical sense,
bu should work), it has index 0 and does not have anything beyond 0 index.
According to JavaDoc only possible combination of startIndex and endIndex would
be (0,0).
StringUtils.java, line 3394: {{for (int i = startIndex; i < endIndex; i++) {}}
However for loop will not execute even single time because {{(i = startIndex =
0)}} is not lower than {{(endIndex = 0)}}, it is equal to endIndex and the
result of joining single element array from it's only index 0 to index 0 will
be empty string.
Therefore to join that one-element array you need to use combination
{{(startIndex = 0, endIndex = 1)}}, where {{(endIndex == array.length)}} is
error according to JavaDoc:
"endIndex - the index to stop joining from (exclusive). *It is an error to pass
in an end index past the end of the array*"
