<a href = "http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/characters-and-strings.html">String array</a> 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:<pre class="language-matlab">Input:
&gt;&gt; x = string({'I','love','MATLAB'})
x = 
 1×3 string array
 "I" "love" "MATLAB";
</pre><pre class="language-matlab">Output:
&gt;&gt; y = {'I','love','MATLAB'}
y =
 1×3 cell array
 'I' 'love' 'MATLAB';
