function [n,message] = common_strings_in_cell_arrays(a,b)

% Counts the number of common strings in two cell arrays of strings ```a``` and ```b```.
%
% INPUTS
% - a [cell] One dimensional cell array of strings.
% - b [cell] One dimensional cell array of strings.
%
% OUTPUTS
% - n         [integer] scalar, the number of common strings.
% - message   [string]  formatted list of common strings.
