In this problem, you will be given a string array. Your job is to convert the string array to a cell array of character vectors, which stores the same pieces of text data.To begin with, let's assume that there are no missing type values in the input string array.Example:<pre class="language-matlab">Input:

<http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/characters-and-strings.html String array> and cell array are two types of containers for storing pieces of data. In this problem, you will be given a string array. Your job is to convert the string array to a cell array of character vectors, which stores the same pieces of text data.

To begin with, let's assume that there are no missing type values in the input string array.

Example:

Input:
  >> x = string({'I','love','MATLAB'})
  x = 
    1×3 string array
      "I"    "love"    "MATLAB";

Output:
  >> y = {'I','love','MATLAB'}
  y =
    1×3 cell array
      'I'    'love'    'MATLAB';
