     When you get a result you do not understand and you want to
ask for help about it, *never* say "the result is something like."
Say what the result actually *is* instead.  Otherwise, the people
who would like to help must guess at the nature of your trouble,
and may guess incorrectly.

     My guess:

     The final line produces a String representation of the array
object itself, not a concatenation of all the array elements.
You should make a StringBuilder, append the individual Strings to
it (in the correct order), and return its toString() instead.

     But I'm just guessing.
