Write a program that converts words to pig Latin. Words that begin with a vowel

Question

Write a program that converts words to pig Latin. Words that begin with a vowel are unchanged. Words that begin with a consonant have the starting consonant moved to the end of the word and “ay” is appended after the consonant. If the input is only the single letter “q” or “Q,” the program quits. Given the inputs “open,” “door,” and “q,” make the program produce the following display:



Sample session:



PIG LATIN WORD CONVERTER



Enter a word: open

In Pig Latin, that's "open"

Enter a word: door

In Pig Latin, that's "oorday"

Enter a word: q

set okInput to false

print “Invalid input - can’t process this character” badCharacter

if okInput is still true

set pigWord to “”

if first character is a vowel

append first character to pigWord

set suffix to “”
