Explanation:
- Calculate the size of the arraylist to duplicate it into a secondary arraylist.
- Clear the original array to prepare for new contents.
- Implement a loop to process half of the original array.
- Employ another loop to handle the remaining half of the array and concatenate all into a unified string.
