/**
 * This example shows how to convert a result file from an integer format  (item represented as integers
 * to a string format (item represented as strings).
 * This feature is used when an input file is converted from ARFF to the integer format.
 * After that, when an algorithms is applied, the result is in integer format 
 * and we want to convert it back to string format before presenting  the result to the user.
 * <br/><br/>
 * The conversion from integer to string is done by using the metadata about the equivalence 
 * between integer and strings that is stored in the converted input file.
