Once you start the exercise, you'll have two hours to complete and submit your solution. * Challenge - Pig Latin * Pig Latin is a farcical "language" used to entertain children, but also to teach them some valuable language concepts along the way. Translating English to Pig Latin is simple: * 1) Take the first consonant (or cluster of consonants) of a word, move it to the end of the word, and add a suffix of "ay" 2) If a word begins with a vowel, just add "way" at the end 3) For the sake of readability, separate the Pig Latin-ized parts of the word with a dash - * Your challenge is to implement the method pigLatinize that takes a string phrase and translates it to Pig Latin. You're free to add additional classes, variables, and methods if you would like. * The input phrase could be as short as a single word, or as long as multiple sentences or paragraphs. Whitespace, capitalization, and punctuation should be honored and maintained in your final answer. * Examples * 1) "pig" => "ig-pay" 2) "pig latin" => "ig-pay atin-lay" 3) "Pig Latin" => "ig-Pay atin-Lay" */ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(pigLatinize("pig")); // should print out "ig-pay" System.out.println(pigLatinize("apple")); // should print out "apple-way" System.out.println(pigLatinize("aaaapple")); // should print out "aaaaple-way" System.out.println(pigLatinize("hello world")); // should print out "apple-way" } // Implement this method: public static String pigLatinize(String phrase) { int size = 0; String[] words = phrase.split(" "); List<String> output = new LinkedList<>(); String newWord = null; // Range of ASCII vowels for (String word : words) { size = word.length(); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { char currentChar = word.charAt(i); // Check if the char is vowel if (currentChar == 'a' || currentChar == 'e' || currentChar == 'i' || currentChar == 'o' || currentChar == 'u') { if (i == 0) { newWord = word + "-" + LATIN_WITH_VOWEL_SUFFIX; output.add(newWord); } else { newWord = word.substring(0, i); String remainingChars = word.substring(i, word.length()); String latinizedWord = remainingChars + "-" + newWord + LATIN_INDEX; output.add(latinizedWord); } break; } } } String latinizedWord = output.stream().collect(Collectors.joining(" ")); return latinizedWord; } }
