Pig Latin is a pretend language. The basic rule is simple: move the leading consonants to the end of the word and append "ay". pig -> ig-pay latin -> atin-lay this -> is-thay strange -> ange-stray bcdfgh -> **** INVALID *****
If the first letter is a vowel then just append "way". apple -> apple-way eye -> eye-way
Write a program that translates words from English to Pig Latin. Pass a string with multiple words and return the phrase in Pig Latin.
We’ll use the hypen, ‘-‘, to simplify translation from Pig Latin to English
If the first vowel is a "u" and the letter before it is a "q" then the "u" also goes to the end of the word. question -> estion-quay squeeze -> eeze-squay
Treat "y" as a consonant if it's the first letter of a word; otherwise, treat "y" as a vowel if it appears earlier than any other vowel. yes -> es-yay rhyme -> yme-rhay try -> y-tray
Modify your program to handle these special cases.
I suggest you hard code a sentence first so that you can get the translator to work:
String str1 = new String (“you smell like apples”);
Use the Scanner class to parse your sentence:
Scanner input = new Scanner(myString);
Use the hasNext() method to determine if there are additional words in your sentence which need to be translated. Use next() to parse the word.
If a word is capitalized in English then it should be capitalized in Pig Latin also.
Thomas -> Omas-thay
Jefferson -> Efferson-jay
If external punctuation is used in English then it should remain in Pig Latin.
What? -> At-whay?
Oh! -> Oh-way!
"hello" -> "ello-hay"
"Hello!" -> "Ello-hay!"
Modify your program to handle capitalization and punctuation.
