Question

So for my cit class I have to write a pig Latin converter program and I\'m really confused on how to use arrays and strings together. The rules for the conversion are simpl

Answer 1

Here's my solution

function translatePigLatin(str) {
  var newStr = str;
  // if string starts with vowel make 'way' adjustment
  if (newStr.slice(0,1).match(/[aeiouAEIOU]/)) {
    newStr = newStr + "way";
  }
  // else, iterate through first consonents to find end of cluster
  // move consonant cluster to end, and add 'ay' adjustment
  else {
    var moveLetters = "";
    while (newStr.slice(0,1).match(/[^aeiouAEIOU]/)) {
      moveLetters += newStr.slice(0,1);
      newStr = newStr.slice(1, newStr.length);
    }
    newStr = newStr + moveLetters + "ay";
  }
  return newStr;
}
