Question

Need help!! Write an interactive program that reads lines of input from the user and converts each line into "Pig Latin." Pig Latin is English with the initial consonant sound moved to the end of each word, followed by "ay". Words that begin with vowels simply have an "ay" appended. For example, the phrase
The deepest shade of mushroom blue
would have the following appearance in Pig Latin:
e-Thay eepest-day ade-shay of-ay ushroom-may ue-blay

Answer 3

get Input
for each word in input
if first letter is vowel
print word and 'ay'
else
find first vowel
print (from vowel to end) + (from start to vowel) + 'ay'

in python this would be easy using slicing, other languages likely similar concepts can be used

Answer 4

@msmithhnova like this?

import java.util.*;

public class PigLatin {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println("Type a word ");
vowel = ("a,e,i,o,u");
int v = vowel;
if(word = "v") {
System.out.println("ay");
} else ("find vowel") {
}
System.out.println("from vowel to end" + "from start to vowel" + "ay");
}
}

Answer 5

You will basically need to delete the first character of a string, and then add ay to the back as well as the first letter.

Answer 6

I'm not familiar with java but the code below will work in python 2.x, not 3.x. It doesn't take into account uppercase vowels, punctuation etc

vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
text = raw_input("Enter some text to convert to piglatin: ")
word_list = text.split()
for word in word_list:
if word[0] in vowels:
print word + "-ay",
else:
index = -1
for char in vowels:
i = word.find(char)
if i > -1 and index == -1:
index = i
elif i > -1 and i < index:
index = i
print word[index:] + '-' + word[:index] + 'ay',
