function s = date2string(varargin)
% Returns date as a string.
%
% INPUTS
% o varargin{1} + dates object with one element, if nargin==1.
% + 1*2 vector of integers (first element is the year, second element is the subperiod), if nargin==2.
% o varargin{2} integer scalar equal to 1, 4, 12 or 52 (frequency).
%
% OUTPUTS
% o s string.
