# jsquared: given an array with contents like ["47", 12, "hello"], 
# how do I prefix each element with a given string and then join 
# the elements together with another string? for example, something like 
# ["47", 12, "hello"].join_with_prefix("+", "**") should give me +47**+12**+hello

array = ["47", 12, "hello"]

result = String.new()
