Pig Latin Translator - JavaScript

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

Your friends are the string function .split, and the array functions .join and .slice and .concat.

warning: Below is a complete solution you can refer to once you have finished or spent too much time.

function letters(word) {
    return word.split('')
}

function pigLatinizeWord(word) {
    var chars = letters(word);
    return chars.slice(1).join('') + chars[0] + 'ay';
}

function pigLatinizeSentence(sentence) {
    return sentence.replace(/\w+/g, pigLatinizeWord)
}

Demo:

> pigLatinizeSentence('This, is a test!')
"hisTay, siay aay esttay!"
